forgotten password on my local computer administrators

Son of game me his computer and they have left the country for two years. It was the Admimnistrator and does NOT let me the password. When asked what it was, he REMEMBERED.   HELP PLEASE!.  We cannot do ANYTHING without the administrators password.   Is there a way we can restore everything that was him or change what is his password?

Hello

You did a password reset disk?
A password reset disk allows the user to change their password if they are locked.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305478 for more information about how to create and use a password reset disk.

If you create one, then according to Microsoft policy on forgotten passwords (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189126) we are not allowed to attend the circumvention of password. There may be no official tools, but some can be dangerous, and none are taken in charge by Microsoft.

    I'll assume, you are referring to the administrator account, but it can be applied to any local account which is located on the TCS server itself.  It has no impact to change the password, unless you are using doesn't say account to connect to the server of TCS or web interface, it will not affect the application of TCS as most things such as external storage or clustering rely on domain accounts and not the local server.

    Hello

    If you normally sign - on with an email and password, see if you can reset the password via another PC from the Microsoft page on the following link.

    If you have a local account, there is a general policy on the Forum does not provide ways to bypass a private connection Windows password due to security/life problems, but a local computer store would be able to get back it for you.

  • 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.

    Hi sanjeevkode,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.  As the question you posted typically associated with third party software / application that has its own way of program codes and call the corresponding system resources when installing and running. Therefore, I also suggest you to join the VMware Forums for the best support.

    VMware communities: http://communities.vmware.com/home.jspa

    In the meantime I suggest you try these options / methods

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Microsoft provides this information as a convenience to you. Proposed changes could lead to serious problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems would be solved as a result of the suggestions. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Option 1: If you go to computer management, and then to the list of Services and find the VMware authorization Service, it appears as stopped? If so, you need to start

    Option 2: Try logging on as an administrator Local host during installation first workstation, rather than you connect with a domain ID

    Option 3: The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must enable security programs new that had disabled you

    Option 4: The problem could be linked to a local or domain group policy. Make sure that the local account is defined as 'local user __vmware_user__' in the local Administrators group and the permissions of "Log on locally" and "Log on as a service.

    The two parameters are available in the "* Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment *" branch of domain group policy or local.

    Let me know if it worked.
    Hope it will be useful.
