How to find the password for the administrator account (forgot it and don't know the trick)

I recently got a new labtop and there was already an admin account and a guest won't be able to access admin one I used the prompt, its my labtop but the person known not more because it is a gift, so is it every way possible to clear all the stuff off this or just be able to access the administrator account

The laptop has the option to restore to day? Some come with a disk partition to do that, while others came with BONES and CD drivers (or the ability to create).

If it came from someone else, it's always a good idea to wipe it and start over anyway; not sure what this person was in, or what are the sites he visits. Would not be a good day for you if the black helicopters landed in your front yard to cause something that accesses the internet of this laptop without realizing you it :-(

  • Can I set a different password for my online account, by email and on the linked account PC.

    Hello

    I think that it is on the windows system's huge security breach 8.

    I have 3 PC and all of them use the same password (password of account).

    My email is also using the same password too.

    If I want to buy items in the store windows, I need to use the same password again.

    Therefore, I don't want to make purchases of the Windows application because it is not secure.

    It is because if your computer gets hacked or something, the hacker is able to get all your information of all accounts linked to your on-line account (e.g., facebook, e-mail) and all your live account Details payments. They can also delete your account if the computer is a reliable PC.

    I hope that Microsoft is able to allow people to use different password for different purposes.

    i.e.

    E-mail

    Windows Store purchases

    Each Windows PC

    Manage the Live account

    I like the concept for windows 8, but I think they still have room to improve. So, I hope to contribute.
    If windows 8 store is safe to use, the store will work very well in the future.

    Kind regards

    Hi Simon,.

    Thanks for the post and comments about Microsoft Community.
     
    I look you would like to know if you can use a different password for your online accounts and emails and on the computers.
     
    I would suggest that you can use different password for the same account on different computers. You must use the same password to buy anything on Windows Store. Windows Store is a secure store you can go ahead and make purchases from there.

  • How to remove the password for an administrator account?

    How can I remove my administrator account password? I'm the only user. I tried the knob to no password in the control panel but didn't success.

    What about the Bryans

    Hi Bryan,.
     

    Thank you for choosing Windows 8 and please provide an opportunity to help you.
     

    You use a Microsoft (with Microsoft electronic mail connection) or a local account?
     

    If you use a Microsoft account, you will need to enter your email password to log into your account. If you have a local account, you can remove the password by following these steps:
     
    (a) press the Windows key + C, select settings
    (b) click change PC settings, select users
    (c) click on change password under sign in options
    (d) when you are prompted, type your current password and leave the password empty.

  • Unable to access computer because the account password for Windows Vista has been forgotten and don't have a password reset disk/hard to find ways to restore the system... Help please

    Hello
    I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.

    Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)

  • I forgot the password for my administrator account only.

    A few months ago I created two accounts on my Windows 7 computer: a standard user, who does not have a password to connect, and an admin user, that does not require a password to connect.

    The problem is that I forgot the password for the admin user and now I can not upload files to the standard user because he asks me the password of the admin.

    What can I do?

    You can use the account that Windows created for you when you first loaded Windows. It was created automatically with administrator privileges. Setting up new accounts will not change unless you deliberately downgraded this initial account.

    I can't put a password for my administrator account. Whenever I try, I get a message saying that Windows cannot change the password.

    All the answers?

    Hi SilentEngima,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    You can try to create another administrator account and then you can keep the new account and delete the old one (be sure to copy the necessary files in system folders is first!), or you can use the new account to set the password for the old account (e.g. from the control panel-> user accounts).

    Let us know if this helps you or if assistance is needed.
