Help please. I was the only administrator account on our computer and it is now saying incorrect name or password? Name is correct on login so must be password. I have never changed password or forgot it? Tried password recovery 5.0 but i can't even download or upgrade anything without admin password. Found thread to use netplwiz or control userpassword2 but it just shuts down computer. Another site i was on asking for help pretty much acussed me of having a stolen computer. Can't change or do anything on here now except to search or e-mail. Any advice? -- azmick |

Really wish i knew what the big issue is!! i have never had this problem on windows 98 or XP. Wish i did not even go with vista. Sucks being denied access on your own computer. Went in prompt command and my user account is still there. Says password was changed on 5/9/09. I did not do it? But says password is changeable. -- azmick |

Only problem is anything i try to change or do it wants my admin password!!! There is only ONE way it can be fixed. The first URL is where you get the basic idea and download the ISO file that you must burn to a CD using a burning program that specializes in such burning, like ImgBurn. Unfortunately, you'd better have one on your system, because to install one, you will need your password. Anyway... here are two URLs... the first to download, the second is a detailed description of what you do with the CD you burn. http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/walkthrough.html |
