• Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

  Hello!

  -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

  I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

  Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

  Thank you!

  • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
  • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
  • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
  • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  You can not. You need to do this via the control panel / accounts of users or via the command prompt. In both cases, you need to be logged in as an administrator account.

• no option to create a password for my user account

  I put a password on my other account username, but for some reason that I can't put a password on my account. It does not have this option. I can't understand. any ideas?

  Your picture tells me that two action points are missing on your computer: change and remove the password. Why is it I don't know. I suggest that you force your way through using the administrator how to do things:

  1 log in under an administrator account.
  2. click on the start planet.
  3. type cmd.exe in the search box.
  4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  5. click on "run as Administrator".
  6. type the following command and press ENTER:
  NET user guest1 123456

• I chose a password for my user account & I forgot the password what can I do?

  Hey

  recently I changed my password user account for my office but I forgot, so I'm not able to reach my information. I didn't keep it in my mind, because I thought that it is very simple! How can I solve this problem?
  Here you go:
  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. select Repair from the menu.
  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. set Windows to a point before you changed the password.
  6 plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
  As an alternative, you can use your repair Windows CD to start the machine in Repair Mode and launch the system restore process.
