Password reset help?

A few things to know:

I have NOT forgotten my password.  However, this morning when I went to log on to Windows Vista HP, it decided to deny me and tell me that my password was incorrect.  I spent hours today reading messages other people on command prompt and recovery CD and restore to factory default.

No, caps lock shift has nothing to do with the question.

I would prefer not to spend money on it, and I would also prefer not to lose all my files on my administrator account.  I'm also sure it's one of those things that Microsoft is not really allowed to answer.

I have a guest account, but not one with administrative powers.

I don't have a Vista CD I use, my computer came with Vista already loaded on it.

I'm looking for a very detailed response to language.  Someone you can help a tech-inept person.

This Vaio from Sony disc must be provided with the recovery disc or you made for your machine to reinstall Vista from the recovery partition.

Normally just recovery disks do a reinstall back to factory settings. in other words, how you buy it.

Which is a way out, if you can back up your data, even if it's your time.

You have looked at the options in the drive of Vaio now anyway.

Bleepingcomputer link, I gave you show what the difference is in the work with a Microsoft DVD options

With this option "Data Rescue", if it was on the drive recovery Sony Vaio (HP etc. has that, too) which is a Sony Vaio option, not a Windows Vista one.

If something went wrong with your data, you would need support of Sony Vaio to untangle their data backup process.

There is a contact for Sony link in the upper right in this link if you want to check with them 1 St.

This process of data should work the way they were designed, but always double-check.

See you soon.

    Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or EliteBook have more strict security consumption patterns - they do not produce "stop codes", the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a nonvolatile memory to remove the RTC cell does not reset the password in this case.

    If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a file custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.

    Reset the Microsoft connected account password

    HP recommends using a Microsoft account connected (MSA) to log Windows. With a Microsoft connected account, you log in to Windows using your email address and the password can be reset using a different device at any time. You don't need a Hotmail e-mail address or Microsoft to put in place a connected account. Any email address works.

    To reset your password for an INT account follow these steps:

    1. Open an Internet browser and go to the Microsoft Web page to reset your password : https://account.live.com/password/reset.
    2. Select I forgot my password, and then click reset password.
    3. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.

    When the password is reset, you will be able to use your Microsoft account with the new password to connect to Windows 10 and Windows 8. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet until you try to connect.

    For more information on the recovery of your Microsoft account password, see:

    Reset a local user account password in Windows (all versions)

    If you use a local user account HP cannot retrieve or reset your password if it is lost or forgotten.

    HP strongly recommends to create a password reset disk to allow you to reset your password in case it is forgotten. If you don't have a password reset disk and can't remember your password, you will be directed by HP support to restore full original factory conditions and will lose all the data that was not backed up to an external location.

    Create a password reset disk

    To perform these steps, you'll need removable media (a USB flash drive).

    1. Insert your removable media.
    2. Open accounts by clicking theStart button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, and then clicking user accounts.
    3. In the left pane, clickcreate a password reset disk, and then follow the instructions. Make sure that you store the disk to reset password in place safe.

    Reset your password using the password reset disk

    If you enter the wrong password when you attempt to log on, Windows displays a message that the password is incorrect.

    1. Click OK to close the message.
    2. Click reset password, and then insert your password reset disk or USB key.
    3. Follow the steps in the password reset Wizard to create a new password.
    4. Login with the new password. If you forget your password again, you can use the same password reset disk. You don't need to make a new.
