Forgot Password in Vista Home Premium
Hello all
Recently I've got a laptop wich came with WIndos Vista HOme Premium installed. I decided to put a Password in my administrator account, but I've forgotten it...And there is no other open account, just the administrator one of wich I've lost the password - I didn't create a pssword reset disk. Is there anything I can do? Can You please Help me? -- Thank You for the attention ZuAb |

I have no idea what I was thinking about when I replied. I left out an important part. Thanks for bringing it up. If the OP is still looking for a fix - and I doubt it since it's been so long - entering Safe Mode and logging in as Administrator will enable going to the user account area and changing the password on the problem account. To enter Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key a couple times a second during bootup or a system restart BEFORE Windows starts to load. Max "The Max" wrote in message .. .
