I forgot admin password Windows 8

I changed my admin password and now can't remember... Hint doesn't help not... I bought a "recovery disc", but will not get several days and wonder if it will work. Dell wants $160 for a past time. I'm afraid of the third-party products. Any advise? I know I can't be alone

  • I forgot the admin password Windows 8 may not have passed the login screen no recovery disk

    Start the computer to the admin login screen.  You have forgotten this password and do not have a recovery disk.

    While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.

    The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.

    It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.

    You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you.

    The only advice I can offer you is either log - on another user with administrator privileges and reset your password to a new, use the password reset disk that you created when you set up your account, start guessing what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.

  • Windows 7, allow a standard user to run a program restricted without using the ADMIN password

    I support a disabled man who often clicks in the wrong places.  A game program has been installed by the administrator.  When he, a standard user tries to run the program, an ADMIN password window appears it didn't.  I tried the "run as Administrator" but still get the password window.  How this program can be set to run without password and have all rights, so the scores and games can be saved?  Thanks to all who can help.

  • Reset Admin password with reset disc (USB)

    Hi all

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64 bit) and I'm in trouble.

    My parents forgot admin password, my built-in admin is disabled(can't re-enable) and I don't know how to do something without triggering UAC. I can not turn off at all (password reset disk, command prompt cursor option [says I need administrator privileges], etc.).

    Password reset option

    Says that there is an error when the Reset Wizard tries to reset the admin password

    Command prompt

    Run as admin, to my password forgotten parents UAC

    Cursor option

    Requires a password.

    I need help, I can't run any application with the shield on this subject. And SERIOUSLY, I don't want to reinstall Windows.   Help, please!

    M16Z0,

    No, they are not links.  I tried to focus on the three key factors, you should check to find the good disk.

    The Act of creating a new password reset disk invalidates all previous ones.  If you need to find the last one which was made by the Admin account in question.

  • Need to fix the Windows XP but I forgot the admin password...

    My windows XP is restarting frequently and not allow me to connect... So I tried to fix my Windows xp using the recovery option... but to use this option, I need Admin password that I forgot. Please help me to overcome this problem...

    You could look at this http://www.ubcd4win.com/howto.htm

    If you do this, you should be able to do a system restore to a few days ago.

    Or even better yet, in the boot for cd menu, go to Offline NT Password & registry Editor, and press ENTER.  Then let it boot and select your windows partition (if one only, there should be one [1] right next to the slider.) Press ENTER.  Unless you have a different path, press ENTER, and then press ENTER.  Press enter once more. Now, select the administrator account and press on enter and clear the password (number 1) to clear the password. Then type in one!, hit enter, type q and press ENTER, type Y and press ENTER. If it says complete edition, press on enter, equip you XP CD and press Ctrl Alt Delete.   Now, restart in your installation cd and enter the password as nothing.

    Hope this helps,

  • I forgot the password to my old computer admin, and he has 1 account to it. What can I do to cross it and unlock my computer without drop kick to it through my 3rd floor balcony window lmao.

    Although even I have now a new computer, still I'd like having my old 1 as a back-up if this 1 crashes ever, there is only 1 account on it and I forgot the password of admin for it. I tried to restart it in safe mode if all goes well to bypass the password admin start-up section, but surprise! always had a password and when I type the password reset link under the password box that he told me that I need a password reset disk where can I get 1 of them and I can get very cheap 1 because I am disabled and cannot work more:(si im limité sur combien dépenser chaque mois.) It also requires a USB and not a disc, the brand and the model is an Acer Aspire 5610 with windows vista home premium.

    Hello DOWG pepper,.

    Unfortunately Microsoft forbids us to give instructions on how to work around/hack admin password. There are ways, but we are not allowed to disclose. As this is an old PC, maybe the best thing for you to do is re - install windows on this computer.

    On the reset disk, you will need to create one of these yourself by opening the control panel and clcikcing on user account icon. In user accounts, look to the left of the window and you will see a list of tasks. The first is create a reset disk.

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
  • Mr President, I put in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot the admin password, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    Mr President.

    I got the admin password in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. However, you can do this:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point until you have changed the password.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
