    How can I recover my administrator password

    Hello

    It is available on you microsoft information help on problems with passwords

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/940765

    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.

    my computer is always on my corporate network, co closed 7 months ago and I can not move my pc to pc at home because my administrative password is not working until I have set up my home network, I can't really use either HELP

    You can start in safe mode and use the built-in Administrator account, which has no default password.  I describe How to do this here.

    However if this account is disabled or has a password set, the only resolution supported for you is to reinstall your operating system.  Microsoft cannot help you break in front of a password.

  • How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine

    I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem.  Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password.  I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.

    How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?

    Can I use a password reset utility?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Kind regards

    Doug U - M

    If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.
