Forgetting your Windows administrator login password. With no way to get
into
the system, you can't even perform basic maintenance, let alone a thorough
tune-up. Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort.
(Plus, guess who's going to have to help reinstall all the programs lost
after a wipe?) But all hope is not lost. There are a few ways to actually
retrieve a lost Windows account password. Read on, and we'll show you the
light.


1st Method:

The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we
install Windows, it automatically creates an account "Administrator" and
sets
its password to blank. So if you have forget your user account password then
try this:

Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press
ctrl+alt+del keys twice and it'll show Classic Login box. Now type
"Administrator" (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank.
Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.

Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User
Accounts".

Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this
in-built Administrator account in Login screen.


2th Method:

There are a lot of Windows password revealers and crackers available.

Windows password recovery tool:

but I've found that Windows Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with
Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user
account to a blank password.

re: How To Reset My Password In Vista

You can change your password to something you will remember from another
administrative user's account. If you only had one administrative user
account and you've forgotten the password, you can use one of the methods
below instead. You might then want to follow the general recommendations for
setting up user accounts in Vista that I'll give you at the end of this
post.

Doing all this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know
yourself best and whether taking the machine to a competent local computer
tech (not a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place) is the better solution
for you.

Method 1 - If you have a Vista installation DVD (not a recovery DVD) you can
boot the system with it. Select the default language, then choose "Repair
your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt type:

net user administrator /active:yes
net user [insert your user account's name here] [insert new user password
like 1234 here]

[Note: Do not type the brackets!]

Now you will be able to log into your user account using the password you
set; i.e., 1234. If you don't have a Vista installation DVD you can either
make a bootable Vista Repair DVD from the file at this link:

Method 2 - Or you can use NTpassword to change your user account's password
to a blank. In both cases you will need third-party burning software such as
Nero, Roxio, or the free ImgBurn to burn the .iso
as an image, not as data.

3. Log into your administrative user account (not the Built-in
Administrator) which will either require no password or something simple
like "1234".

If you used Method 1, after you have logged into your administrative user
account you should disable the built-in Administrator again for security
purposes:

Start Orb>Search box>type: cmd
When cmd appears in Results above, right-click it and choose "Run as
administrator" [OK]. Now you will get the command prompt. At the command
prompt type:

net user administrator /active:no [enter]

Exit the command prompt.

General Recommendations For Setting Up Users In Vista:

You absolutely do not want to have only one user account. Like XP and all
other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user operating system with
built-in system accounts such as Administrator, Default, All Users, and
Guest. These accounts should be left alone as they are part of the operating
system structure.

You particularly don't want only one user account with administrative
privileges on Vista because the built-in Administrator account (normally
only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you're running as
Administrator for your daily work and that account gets corrupted, things
will be Difficult. It isn't impossible to activate the built-in Administrator
to rescue things, but it will require third-party tools and working outside
the operating system.

The user account that is for your daily work should be a Standard user, with
the extra administrative user (call it something like "CompAdmin" or "Tech"
or the like) only there for elevation purposes. After you create
"CompAdmin", log into it and change your regular user account to Standard.
Then log back into your regular account.

If you want to go directly to the Desktop and skip the Welcome Screen with
the icons of user accounts, you can do this:

Start Orb>Search box>type: netplwiz [enter]
Click on Continue (or supply an administrator's password) when prompted by
UAC

Uncheck the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer". Select a user account to automatically log on by clicking on the
desired account to highlight it and then hit OK. Enter the correct password
for that user account (if there is one) when prompted. Leave it blank if
there is no password (null).

Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover
forgotten Password by using "Reset Disk". If you created a Password
Reset Disk in Past, you can use that disk to reset the password. To know
more about It, please visit 'Windows Password Reset, Windows Password
Recovery, Administrator Password'

How To Reset My Password In Vista

I think all complaints go to an old lady in Nebraska.
The offender gets a letter thanking them for feeding the hungry.
