Password Recovery HELPPPP! Window Vista

Windows Vista: lost password and should be retrieved as soon as possible!

This is the problem...

I forgot my password for the administrative account and it has been almost a year since the accident. Tried many possible passwords and combinations that I can remember and think, but it did not work.

Right now, I'm using the local account user...

I lost my disk to reinstall :/ and asked most of my friends and people to help me and all their answers are the same.

It's either all reset back to factory State * or the system restore and I can not!

or use the password reset disk? I do not know about it until what someone told me about this = _ = and then I figured out it's too late...

and someone told me about 'safe mode' but I don't know where or what.

and now I'm stuck! on the local user and can't do anything... Cannot download and...-.-just nothing...

I am a beginner on computers, only know how to download things... and to play games and write stories

Please help me on this: () I feel very stupid and don't know what to do...

Is there anyone who had this same problem before or big on technical issues and recoveries and will help me in this mission?

Restore factory is certainly a good idea, and in most cases, you don't have even a disc, because at the time of Vista, most computers had the integrated hard drive recovery partition. You just restart, press a special key (depending on the manufacturer of the PC) and start the restore.

But in Safe Mode can help you too.

If there is no administrator account on the system, you can start safe mode to access the built-in Administrator account.  Since this fail-safe account, you can force - reset your account password.

  1. Turn off the computer.
  2. Turn it on and start immediately typing F8.  When the boot options is displayed, select Mode safe mode with networking.

Now that you are in safe mode, you can use the backup Administrator account built for perform you a necessary recovery. Built in Administrator account should not be used for any other purpose, or it is not available in such situations when you need it.

  1. On the login screen, select the administrator account.
  2. Open Control Panel / user accounts.
  3. Select manage another account, and then select the account you want to switch to an administrator account. You can also use the option change password here to reset the password of the other account.

When finished, restart the computer normally.

    Hello

    No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

    If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

    All data are lost when you do the above.

    And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

    They do that for a small fee:

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
