forgotten password - windows vista
Bren,
I had somewhat a similar problem when I was trying to change the login password. It kept coming up and saying the new password was typed incorrectly, so I figured it didn't take. The next time I logged on my pc, it would not accept the old password, and I didn't bother remembering the new one because it said it was incorrect. I had to call Dell, and we ended up doing an unnecessary reloading of Windows, but it really just took doing a system restore from an earlier date. You might try restoring the system from an earlier date and see if that works. It did for me.. I hope this helps... "Bren" wrote: Hi I have just got a new pc and forgotten the login password already!

I forgot my password before. and look through all the internet. there are some methods I find. You can access the Administrator account through the login prompt without logging into safe mode. If the computer utilizes the welcome screen instead of the standard NT domain login prompt, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Del twice to get to the login prompt. This is only true if you are running Windows XP Professional Edition. Windows XP Home Edition will also allow you to use this method to log on. If it doesn't work above , you can try to use 'windows password reset 6.0 ' (http://www.resetwindowspassword.com/) to crack your windows password without erasing anything. hope it can help you. good luck. -- Alexisxy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alexisxy's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/88612.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-adm...ion/720534.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

don't worry,you can DIY a Windows password reset CD. There is an *Windows password unlocker*.ISO image file integrated in the *windows password unlocker*. Burn the .ISO file onto a blank CD with your favorite burners or use the freely burner included in *windows password unlocker*. With the newly created windows password reset CD, you can *'reset windows password' (http://www.passwordunlocker.com/products/wpu.html)* with our erasing anything else -- ychfti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ychfti's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/167479.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-adm...ion/720534.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
