Forgot User Password - Windows Vista

Hello,

I have a question, I have Win Vista, and I am ADMIN user, I have forget the password!

Is there a possibility the password back to it?

hmmmm ........ in XP there is a disk to reset the password, it's not for Vista?

Or you have to necessarily win Vista formatting and re-jungle

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

you should try boot from the Vista CD, then in the Repair Console, and then the password for the user to reset .. or create a new user to regain access to the system to obtain password.

Follow the steps bellow:
  • Log on to Windows by using an administrator account that has a password that you remember. You may need to start WinXP in safe mode.
  • Click Start, and then click Run.
  • In the Open box, type “control userpasswords2″, and then click OK.
  • Click the user account that you forgot the password for, and then click Reset Password.
  • Type a new password in both the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and then click OK.
