I forgot my admin password & am locked out.

I forgot my admin password & am locked out. I put someone else in place, but when I go to use the recovery disk it wants me to put the admin password to continue. I'm frustrated. What can I do?

Hello

You start from the recovery disk to reinstall Vista.

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

You should not need a password except if the manufacturer asks one.

    ..  I lost the paper with my admin password on it, and I'm stuck on the computer...

    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 that I can offer you is either begin to guess what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.

  • I FORGOT the ADMIN PASSWORD FOR - (WEB PAGE) - HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g

    Hi all

    I changed my network SSID & PW but I forgot the password for the printer web page.

    Password was written in a notebook and notebook is moved at the moment by the cleaning person.

    Please HELP! Is there anyway I can reset the printer so that the admin password is also re-set. I try to reinstall the software printers, also I am not able to change the ip address and right now, there is no ip address... get no link and no ip address and no network... Please anyone who can help... Please help.

    * I read some part... to power off the printer, then press the power button on... and continue pressing the back button where he would have, for some time the printer is back back (it was to reset the printer)... which is about 23 times... zero.

    I really want to THANK you ALL for READING THIS & YOUR TIME. So please help if you can...

    and ideas?

    Thank you, xxVEGASxx

    * xxVEGASxx *.

    You can do a reset of the printer using the LED screen on the printer.

    Select Configuration, then Tools, then restore the default settings. "Restore default settings" is the last element of the list and you will have to scroll down to see it.

    Which erases all settings, including the password for the printer.

    To reset you describe is probably the one mentioned in this article:

    http://resetprinters.com/how-to-reset-the-HP-OfficeJet-Pro-8600-premium-all-in-one-printer/

    but it's probably a deeper reset that you really need anyway.

  • 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,
