    * original title - I'm having problems with "the user profile service has no logon. Unable to load the user profile"in order to resolve this that I have to sign as an administrator, but I forgot my password. What can I do? *

    Only suggestion I can offer...
    Go to safe mode... http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/123496-safe-mode.html
    See if there is another account admin, you've not seen before.
    If so, this is the built-in Administrator account. By default, there is no password.
    Logon to the account built-in Administrator and do the following:
    1 do a system restore
     http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html

    2 use this tutorial from Microsoft support :
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215
    There are several methods, go through one by one.
    Method 3 has a "fix it for me" application

    If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

    • 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.

  • How to change admin password in BIOS if the old password is forgotten in windows xp?

    Can you tell me how to change the admin password in the BIOS under Windows XP if I forgot the original?

    Thank you.

    If you have a desktop PC, you can disconnect the power cable, open the case and remove the battery (Silver thing small round-shaped piece). then try to restart the computer, you can disable it in the first black screen with white text, it will probably give an error of the BIOS in any case. Then disconnect the power supply again and replace the battery. You need to reset the BIOS, but it should work.

    If it's a laptop is more complicated and you probably need a technician, you will need a few contacts on the motherboard to short and it's not just a deal to open a plate of control over some.
