Forgot Admin Password: Windows Vista Home Basic
All, Is there an easy way to re-set a forgotten password - I set an administrator account and password on my partner's daughter's PC and cannot remember the password (clearly I'm not flavour of the month!). I'm PC illiterate, so laymans terms appreciated. Thanks in advance. PS - I have tried accessing via "safe mode". However, it informs me that the account named "administrator" has been de-actuivated. -- JeffT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JeffT's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/91726.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-adm...ion/961749.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Enable the hidden administrator account, then use that to reset the password. Remember to disable that account when you are finished. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...windows-vista/ |

Try your best to recall the password. If you can't, you have to empty the old password. As far as I know, there are two solutions for you. one is to reinstall your OS, another is to reset the password with a third part utility. (here, take "windows password unlocker" for example) I do not recommend the first solution. Once you reinstall the OS which must result a data loss. In the terms another method, you need a second computer that can link to Internet and blank CD. As following, 1. Login to a second computer that can link to Internet. download Windows Password Unlocker 4.0 and decompress it on that PC. Note that: there is a .ISO file,you need to burn the .ISO file to a CD. 2 Get out the newly created CD and insert it to the locked computer. Thirdly, re-booted the locked computer and then followed the process of instructions. Just a few steps, the old password was removed. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 4.jpg | |Download: http://forums.techarena.in/attachment.php?attachmentid=8075| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- happykaka ------------------------------------------------------------------------ happykaka's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/94838.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-adm...ion/961749.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
