Can not reset admin password under safe mode due to password policy?
Hi, all.
I'll have to log into the default administrator account, because I can not do anything under the current standard user account status. I went to the safe mode, and tried to log into the admin account, but the password is forgotten. I built the reset password USB disk under the account before. Now I follow the instructions for resetting the password. However, the window popped up, and it said "ineffective password, the password length is too short, or ca not conform to the password policy. I've tried passwords of different lengths, such as 3,6,8,16, 20. All tempts have been failed. What can I do now to reset the password or change the policy? PS. I am using Vista home basic, many operations can not be done under this version I think. |
