  • Windows Vista, administrator password, does not

    I had the windows administrator password since I bought my laptop about a week, there is the password no longer works, (no one has changed the password). Finger printer reader, my impression, finger reads me the green check mark, and then displays the incorrect user name or password. Dell has no help nor Microsoft, called the two, both passes the question to the other. I have many family photos and some documents I want to turn off my computer, I can't get them because of the password, I bought a case that Dell said to do, it does not fit my hard drive. Can someone tell me how to bypass my password so that I can get at my photos or what I can do to at least get my photos in the admin account that is displayed in my full name. I tried to type in the command prompt, and nothing works, please any help, I would be so grateful... Dell and Microsoft told me, there's a way to get around, but they cannot help doing it on my own computer.

    Hello

    Donna I don't know how the fingerprint reader interacts with the opening of session if it is an assumption. This method
    works on systems without the reader of fingerprints and perhaps on your system when used in conjunction with
    your fingerprint reader. Hope it's useful.

    If this is not enough you are no worse off as you are now.

    Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

    DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    Hi pooja2nd,

    Thank you for taking the time to post.

    If you want to enable the built-in Administrator account, then you'll do the following:

    ·         Click the Start button on the desktop

    ·         In the search box, type cmd (do not hit enter)

    ·         Make a right click cmd.exe and select run as administrator

    ·         Type net user administrator / Active: Yes

     

    After seeing a message that the command completed successfully, log off and now on the login screen you should see the built in admin account. By default, there no configuration password, so if you want to use the built-in account, make sure that you set a password. To disable the built-in account, type the following:

    Type net user administrator / active: No.
