Lost my admin password

Hello, I lost my admin password and password recovery programs do not work, at the end it says the password not found, at this point im tired of going through all the steps to get it back. Planning on restarting the computer and reformatting to factory condition, it also clear the admin password and let me acess IM computer? Thank you

I'm sorry, but I am prohibited by Microsoft's strategy to help you recovery your password by give you links to programs that work or showing you how to find these links.  If I try, they will simply remove my post and you will lose everything as well.

Restore factory settings will be reset the administrator password system and give you access to your system (set of something you don't forget or leave just white which is what most people do), but it may require that such action drastic.

If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Make sure you do the administrator accounts at least two (one for use) and the other in case of emergency and one account standard for your daily use (you can use the already created accounts to include in the present). Go to manage other accounts, and change passwords on account of the qualification and any other person that you want to change.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

    Apparently, I lost the ADMIN password for my color Laserjet M252DW.  I've cycled through all my known passwords and not joy.  I understand that there is a sequence of keys that will restore settings by default so that I can restore a new password or turning entirely.  Help please!

    Try it below:

    A the NVRAM initialization erases all data stored in the sections not protected from NVRAM. Resets the initialization settings following and information: ●tous menu are reset to the settings default values. ●All location, including the language and country/region, performing a memory NVRAM is reset to zero. After a the NVRAM initialization, reconfigure all computers so that the computer can recognize the printer to print to this printer.

    1. turn off the printer.

  • EliteBook 2570p BIOS Admin password lost

    Lost my admin BIOS pwd. The case created for support. They sent me bin file to set the partition or HP_TOOLS and USB power system with the keys "Windows + ArrowUP and ArrowDown.

    Howerver, when I have the power of the regime like this, nothing changes in the startup at all.

    Thank you.

    Good new!

    I was able to reset the TPM password with no replacement motherboard.

    Here is a manual that I had followed, its written by James Gallagher.

    Thing that I was missing is marked "BOLD".  And I'll insist on REPEATEDLY, if you're not fast enough, it will ask password. If you are good at pressing repeat - it will make you go to the BIOS configuration where you will be able to restore security.

    ' 1. save smc.bin you support HP at the root of a USB thumb drive "(or save the file to the root of the drive D: HP_TOOLS') - I used a USB key, btw...
    2. turn off the power the laptop
    3 hold the Windows key + up arrow + arrow down and turn on the laptop
    4 let go to the splashscreen HP keys
    5.  Repeatedly press F10 in the screen that appears with "SMC order processed successfully"
    6. This should get you into the BIOS where you must choose 'Reset BIOS to factory default security' and confirm by selecting Yes (duh)
    7 exit the BIOS, saving the changes (duh)
    8. after restarting the laptop, you will see the guest coveted for clear the TPM, which is shown below.
    9. press F1 (again, duh)
    10. Once restarted the laptop, the BIOS password is goners.

  • Lost Admin password

    Nice day

    I'm trying to do a factory restore on your laptop model HP-g011ca running Windows 8.1 and the admin password has been lost. Let contact me. The system has been set up by someone who had no idea how to make an installation program and do not bother to read none of the screens through the installation program

    This model comes with a 1.8 GB restore partition.

    I was wondering if I can remove the hard drive and delete the Windows folder (or all folders), I would be able to do a restore of the system from the recovery partition?

    If so, what would be the steps?

    Oh... If there is an easier way to do this, I would like to know.

    Thank you all

    Another question for you, if I boot to the command prompt and go to "D", I can run recovery from there.

    Thanks again

    "Another question for you, if I boot to the command prompt and go to"D", can I run the recovery from there."

    No.  The recovery partition is not default bootable. If you play with or modify files within the partition, it will work as expected.

    You can use a live bootable Linux usb to access GParted and assign to the active recovery partition. Once it's done, you can leave Linux (I use Ubuntu) and then restart your laptop. It should boot straight into the Recovery Manager.
