    Forgot Password in Vista Home Premium

    Hello all

    Recently I've got a laptop wich came with WIndos Vista HOme Premium
    installed. I decided to put a Password in my administrator account, but I've
    forgotten it...And there is no other open account, just the administrator one
    of wich I've lost the password - I didn't create a pssword reset disk.

    Is there anything I can do? Can You please Help me?

    Thank You for the attention

    Enable the hidden Administrator account,

    Logoff, logon using that account, reset your own account's password.

    but hes saying he cant get past the logon screen cos no password so how can
    he enable the built in administrator account to log in from that then reset
    his password for the normal user account

    You're absolutely right! I have no idea what I was thinking about
    when I replied. I left out an important part. Thanks for bringing it
    up.

    If the OP is still looking for a fix - and I doubt it since it's been
    so long - entering Safe Mode and logging in as Administrator will
    enable going to the user account area and changing the password on the
    problem account.

    To enter Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key a couple times a second
    during bootup or a system restart BEFORE Windows starts to load.

    hi... i have a similar problem. I'm a greek and recently i got a laptop
    with windows vista home premium on. i created an admin account and then
    i set a password for the built in administrator... now i've forgotten my
    password (not the one. for the built in administrator. that one i still
    remember) but when i boot on safe mode i don't see the built in
    administrator account... i also have a standard user. Please help. is
    there any way i can reset my forgotten password or make the built in
    administrator appear? i tried with command prompt but since i don't
    remember my password i can't open it as admin. there is another admin on
    my computer to but he's abroad and he will be for another month or two
    and he hasn't given me his new phone number yet. :(
