forgotten password, no disc to reset
My friend has vista on her computer and she has herself locked on the comp. She doesn't remember his password. It doesn't have a password reset disk, and it is the only profile on the computer. We tried to make a password reset on another computer with vista and it didn't work. What should do? Does need to reinstall vista from scratch and if so how does do that?

Forgotten password - no disc reset
I have Windows XP Home Edition and I forgot my password of the administrator account. I have no other admin account set up. Will my password be reset if I do a system restore? I hate to do anything that shuts down the computer because I'm afraid of not being able to get on it again. Terribly afraid to try to start the system in safe mode as suggested someone... Help, please!
To do a system restore, you must be logged in as an administrator. When you do so, it will restore password to the State they were when the backup is restored. If you arrive to be currently logged in as an administrator and have forgotten the password, you can reset it as shown here:
'Forgotten your Windows XP Home password? "- Part 3: define a new password as an administrator.

Reset the Microsoft connected account password
HP recommends using a Microsoft account connected (MSA) to log Windows. With a Microsoft connected account, you log in to Windows using your email address and the password can be reset using a different device at any time. You don't need a Hotmail e-mail address or Microsoft to put in place a connected account. Any email address works.
To reset your password for an INT account follow these steps:
- Open an Internet browser and go to the Microsoft Web page to reset your password : https://account.live.com/password/reset.
- Select I forgot my password, and then click reset password.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.
When the password is reset, you will be able to use your Microsoft account with the new password to connect to Windows 10 and Windows 8. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet until you try to connect.

is a forgotten password, askes for a reeset disc and do not have
I had recently been hacked on our personal computer. I was told to do a password, which we did. We do not write it down and the password forgotten, can not connect to our computer right now. The only choice that gives us is to put in a disc to reset what we do not have one. How to get back in our computer? Do we need to have someone who works on computers to fix it, or is it something we can do ourselves?
