I have Vista and forgot my logon password and when trying to sign on I only have the one account to logon to? how do I bypass this and use my computer again? Someone help!

I recently changed the name of the admin account, but forgot the password without a reset disk. The account shows but I cannot login. I have searched the threads but need some direction on the best way to go about doing this It is Vista Home premium x32 Suggestions appreciated

I deleted my primary administrator account in error. Luckily I was in a second administrator account at the time. My user account settings and files are still there nevertheless. How do I reinstate that account again - it has all my Windows Mail messages etc. Thanks in advance

I wish there was a way to change my security question on my Vista User Account without having to change my password. Sometimes people can think of a better security question, but don't necessarily want to change their passwords.

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...

I just uninstalled IE-8 to solve the "The command failled to execute" problem. I had been having problems logging in to Windows Vista, but no more. The problem was that if I didn't put the cursor into the password box, it would not accept my full password. I have never had to do this before, in any version of Windows. Now that IE-8 is gone, I no longer have to do it now. Please pass this...

I'm using Vista Home Premium. I know that there is no Local Users and Groups folder in Computer Management. I am the administrator, and I want to disable a standard user's ability to change their password. In other words, I want to have access to this user's account when I need--I want them to be able to be password protected, but I don't want them to be able to change this password once they...

My dad got really anoyed with me and took away my control on MY labtop. (makes me mad) Anyway, I can't get into it through the password and i don't have any fancy software. I'm trying to delete old files that are cluttering up my comp and it wont let me cause I'm not the admin anymore! Help me, please.

Hi there I've got a recurring problem with Vista. When I turn the computer on sometimes, I enter my password and it loads a screen that doesn't have any of my settings on and then the error message 'user profile not loaded....' appears. I have viewed a fiew forums with posts about this problem and have followed the advice of restarting, F8, safe mode, system restore. This solves the problem,...

Hello everyone! :) I had recently bought the game 'Anno 1404:Dawn of Discovery' from Ubisoft and played well for a few hours. Then I found out that those 'Autosaves' were corrupted and searched the net to find out what was the problem. Some people had the same problem as me, and they were a single users of Vistas and XPs, and to fix this, one said that I had to make another Admin User to play...

I previously had set up Vista on my laptop so that both userids had administrator rights. That's changed (I don't know how because I certainly didn't do it - Windows auto update I suspect !) and the user group for both is now "debugger users". When I try to change it back to administrator I get "access denied". I've tried starting in safe mode but it won't let me enable the hidden administrator...
