forgot my admin. account password
Hi, I have forgotten my admin account password. I have one guest user on my computer. I want to install additional software, but my machine does not allow me to do any changes without the admin password. I did not do a reset disk. did not even realize that i should be. After I get help with resetting this, will I lose any data that I have already put in? I have just eailed all documents out so these will not be lost. Help. Thanks, Dotfromks -- dotfromks |
