I fogot my administrative password and I have no reset or repair disk, Windows 7

I can only use my laptop as a guest and yes I, I'm a plonker rite

Restart the computer using safe mode, and then log in as administrator. The password is often empty.

If that does not work then you must get a Windows 7 repair disc, for example a friend. Post again when you have it, for instructions on how to use it.

    Hi Marcus,

    Please contact the Microsoft Community.

    I apologize for the delay in responding to your request. You have a problem with the admin password is not eligible not on computer. It must be difficult that you can not connect to the computer. I appreciate all the efforts you have put in institutions. I'm here to help you solve the problem and guide you in the right direction.

    It's in the Microsoft Policy to provide a work around for this problem. Here is what you try-

    (a) click on the indication of password and try to remember the password.

    (b) suddenly look at the paperwork or records. There is a possibility that you might have written it down somewhere.

    (c) ensure that the CAPS on the keypad lock is disabled in case your password has not all characters that require the CAPS LOCK feature.

    If the suggestions do not help, then I would have you look at this article.

  • Unable to disable UAC errors: to continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes, but he is nowhere to type a password and Yes is disabled.

    Original title: to continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes, but he is nowhere to type a password and Yes is disabled.

    Yesterday I just reinstalled Windows 8, replacing the preview of the version and the official version.

    I would like to disable UAC and various other things, but I can't.
    Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?
    Control parameters of account user (or almost anything from the control panel)
    To continue to type the administrator password, and then click Yes.
    There is no area password to type in. He 'bumps' when I type. I can only click on the No button or display unnecessary details.
    I will not restore the system on a new installation. Apparently, it's an old bug that has never been fixed because you can just tell people to do a system restore and close the book on the complaint. If please post a proper fix and stop wasting users time.
    Hi, I know I'm a little late to the party, but I found this post faced a similar problem and thought that post my findings.
    I found a work around for this problem, which does not require a reinstall of Windows, but you may lose your user account.
    Summary:
    The problem is that in Windows 8, the administrator is inactive by default, you will have to find a way to activate it. You can enable the admin account as an administrator,.
    However. Fortunately, (on my machine anyway) it seems that you can access your hidden from the Safemode administrator account. If your first set of objectives will be as follows:
    -starting in safe mode
    -Log in as an administrator
    -l' administrator, enable the account administrator similarly.
    -Restart your machine and you as an administrator outside of safe mode (normal mode).
    From here, you should be free to do what you want. Now that the admin account is active, you are allowed to type a password when prompted (by default that the password is empty). For me, however, when I tried to promote my previous user administrator account (among other things) I noticed symptoms that seem to indicate that the account ceased to exist. I went through measures to set up a new account and get it synced with my microsoft email account.
    -Create a new user account
    -give administrator rights
    -remove my old (for some reason, hidden) account
    -Sync to the top of my new user account with microsoft e-mail account.
    Directions for use:
    How to get admin access:
    (1.) start in safe mode. You can make it easier by opening a command prompt (Start menu-> type "cmd"). And type "shutdown/r/o".
    2.), your computer begins to restart, but give you a set of troubleshooting options. Choose troubleshooting->-> start of the Advanced Options settings.
    3.) after reboot and enter safe mode, users of contactor by going to the start menu-> click on your user name-> and choose administrator.
    4.) Windows will begin the first initialization for this account.
    5.) once connected, open the command prompt, this time as a Director. (Make a right click-> Run as administrator).
    6.) type "net user administrator / Active: Yes" to set the admin account as 'active'. It will now be shown outside of safe mode.
    7.) restart your computer and log in as administrator again. You can now add users and to play with the permissions etc. (metro options are not available in safe mode, where the reset).
    How to remove your old account of 'lost' and synchronize your new account with the microsoft account.
    1.) create a new account via the control panel users. Don't forget to give you administrator rights.
    (2.) to remove your lost old account by typing "net use /del" in an administrator command prompt. You need to know your old account name, good luck with this one.
    3.) go into the settings of your pc: open the context menu on the right-> settings-> "change PC settings."
    (4.) to go to the users-> Select 'switch to a Microsoft account» tab
    I hope this helps!

    Excerpt:
    Important note...
    This works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which logging has managed for the account of the problem. In addition, this isn't a problem if you are in a domain environment because the domain administrator can always reset your password.

    Yes.

    Not at all.

    N °

    If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish.  A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.

    Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer...  Then you have a problem.

    Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

  • I forgot my windows XP administrator password and the returned solutions "access denied."

    I tried all of the following without success.

    Since your account invited > start > run Type "cmd".

    Once command prompt opens type

    NET user comments / add an administrator

    Press enter

    It works on computers pretty much all that I tried, it elevates the guest account to Administrator status, where you are free to edit and change things, that you must change.

    OR

    Since your account invited > start > run Type "cmd".

    Once command prompt opens type

    NET user administrator (or the name of your administrator account) *.

    Press enter

    You will now be able to enter a password for this account. Confirm the password and Voila! You should now be able to log on to your account with the password that you set.

    OR

    System startup and when you see the home screen, press ctrl + alt + delete twice and it'll show a connection box. Now type administrator username and leave empty Pword. Now, press Enter and you should be able to open a session.

    Now you can reset your password from the control panel and user accounts.

    OR

    Enter SafeMode to restart the computer and press f8 repeatedly until a screen somes up which gives you a few options, use the arrow keys to the forts of the 'start windows in safe mode' when you start windows in safe mode, you will see a new account on the login screen, titled administrator , click on it, there is no password (unless you have changed it).
