Default 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.

Enable the hidden administrator account, then use that to reset the
password. Remember to disable that account when you are finished.

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.
