Hello
Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.
Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
You need to reinstall the operating system.
See if there is a recovery Partition to do this:
Read this information from Dell on how to do it:
Otherwise, call Dell and ask them to send a Vista recovery disk.
Normally, they charge a low cost to make.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk. AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?
If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.
In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.
If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

Backup to a folder that is password protected
I have a script that records the work to a public folder, but I also need a script that records the work in a folder that is password protected. The user name and password is something I need for illustrator to be able to type before recording is an option for this? I think share anything on this anywhere, so I'm not sure that there is still a possibility.
If you have stored in an intermediate file and another outside the script came every half hour to move files from your system of files unprotected in your corresponding score? I don't know if it's possible within your organization, but I've been to one in the past where it has been used a timed script to redistribute the images automatically throughout the day.

Resettlement without disks
Hello. I have a computer bought from a friend with windows vista home premium installed. I want to format my hard drive to start over but I do not have the windows installation disc. How can I reinstall the pack without the disks after I cleaned the system? Thank you, KimHello. I have a computer bought from a friend with windows vista home premium installed. I want to format my hard drive to start over but I do not have the windows installation disc. How can I reinstall the pack without the disks after I cleaned the system? Thank you, Kim
You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.
Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.
If it was built * friend *, you will communicate with them. Ask your media.

Probably no disk came with it. Instead, you have a recovery partition.
For information on how to use it, read the instructions or watch on the
