disabled on the Windows Xp laptop after 6 months (has been repaired at the time) and it says log in password has expired and asking me to create a new but I forgot the password to myold because it uses to connect automatically so I never had to go, before going to the Juno connect... There are no icons so cannot open anything all the it watch is the homepage and this message keeps coming up
Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator . You will need to know the password, if any, for this account. Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account.
Then, restart the computer and you connect to your regular account with the new password. If the computer has a floppy drive, you can make a password reset disk

I am "Administer" and have set up my 'users' with profiles protected with the McAffee Parental control, which is a free service for me on Comcast. I a user of 'problem', who will be going to * sites, etc. My problem is that I FORGOT MY PASSWORD! Now I'm locked and the 'user' has free rein, as well as my children. If anyone can help with this question? "The user of this problem" can avoid the protections on his profile together by connecting simply as 'User' or, as I did tonight by typing in 'Administrator' in the paper on the can just access WITHOUT word of A PAST! I tried to remove "user", but the computer doesn't let me, even when I'm IN administrative actions. All that being said... my MAIN PROBLEM is not able to access my own computer. I have no idea what I used a password and we have tried everything! I managed to change my password of E-MAIL with a 'secret question', but I can't connect with my profile that allows me to implement user controls, etc. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED! Xqwizet * address email is removed from the privacy *.
Hi XqwizetOne.
I think you mentioned that you have access to the 'Administrator' account in the computer. If Yes, try this,
Go to start > run > type control userpasswords2 > press enter
There's a space between 'control' and 'userpasswords2 ".
This will open the advanced for XP user control panel. You can select your usual username and reset your password using this and you can also change the password of the user "" who visits the * sites!
I hope this helps you!
See you soon ~

I have windows xp on my computer but I forgot the password of my computer. I want to install windows 7. My computer doesn't have an internet conncetion as this can't be updated. I have not created a password reset disk. I want to directly install Windows 7 using a disc of windows 7 installation without having to reinstall windows xp first. How can I do?
If you have forgotten your password we couldn't help you get it back, but if you want you could do fresh install of Windows 7 and the format of your driver and all your data would be lost. You just insert the Windows 7 DVD and start with it and follow the instructions. I suggest you take a look at:

How can I use my admin account when I forgot my computer password?
I was recently reading to make a password reset disk. I did it successfully. I also redesigned and strengthened my index of password to make it just something I'll remember.
I also read that I could also connect to my laptop using my administrator account, if I forgot my password for the regular user. I don't know how to do this. The Vista Welcome screen shows my normal username when I start my computer. How to access my administrator account?
It comes to my laptop. I'm the only one using it.
A couple of years, I've had problems with one of the Service Packs. I had a very good help from Microsoft. One of the people helping me explained how to connect using the Admin account to display system information. I think she used the DOS prompt to change a setting. Then the Welcome screen showed the Admin account. But, if I can't log on my computer to do this, I can't do the account Admin appear on the Welcome screen. Is there another way to display the administrator account on the home screen?
