Don't you remember the administrator password
When it asks me to log on as an administrator or enter the password I just can't seem to remember it! It drives me nuts that I often wonder to enter.
I'm pretty useless with computers so if someone could help me that would be great!
See you soon

Original title: Windows administrator password
I forgot my password for windows 7 on a HP Pavilion laptop. I use the fingerprint reader to log on now (Administrator). I do not have the password reset disk also. What should I do to reset the password?
Thank you...
Here you go:
- Start the computer with your CD to repair Windows.
- Select "Repair Mode".
- To set Windows to a point before you changed the password, use "System Restore".
- Sign in with your old password.
- Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
It is available, you have an installation CD or created a CD to repair.

"What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8
If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:
If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.
If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.
If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:
If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.
If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

Shut down the laptop.
Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the start menu, then select f10 to open the Bios menu.
Use the arrows to select the Security tab and press ENTER. Use the arrow keys again to highlight the power on password and press ENTER.
Enter the current password and then the new password, simply leave this blank and press on enter - do the same for the confirmation field. Press f10, select this option to save the new settings and press to enter.

There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Dell is press F8 at startup.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
