    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

  • I forgot my password for the administrator account in Windows 7

    I need to find my passwod administator can someone help me please

    * original title - I forgot my administrator password and I get nowhere *.

    Comment of "No Mo" is grammatically correct, it won't you anywhere with your current problem or the other. Maybe one of these options will solve your problem:

    • Restart the computer with your CD to repair Windows, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if the problem occurred recently).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.

  • Don't know the name or the password for the administrator account

    'Useful' for my internet service technical advisor has created a new administrator account for my non-it network. I don't know the name of the administrator account or the password and am accessing the computer via a guest account. However, because the guest is not the administrator I can't upgrade or changes to the operating system. How can I find the information needed/creat a new administrator/do prompt the administrator? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS. It seems that I can't do a clean install.

    This new admin account that technology has created for you could be the built-in Administrator account.
    It is, by default, has no password.

    Try to connect to it by clicking on this account > Inbox password by pressing the Enter key.

    If this does not work and you can ONLY log on to your computer to the guest account, so you don't have any hope of creating a new admin account, activate account built-in Administrator, or you can use the cmd to this effect.

    Remind your internet service, tell them what the 'useful' technician had done before and ask them to help, such as...

    1. create new admin with a password that you can remember.

    2 delete the one that you do not have the password.

    If this cannot be done, the only suggestion that we offer is to re - install Vista.

  • I forgot the password for my administrator account only.

    A few months ago I created two accounts on my Windows 7 computer: a standard user, who does not have a password to connect, and an admin user, that does not require a password to connect.

    The problem is that I forgot the password for the admin user and now I can not upload files to the standard user because he asks me the password of the admin.

    What can I do?

    You can use the account that Windows created for you when you first loaded Windows. It was created automatically with administrator privileges. Setting up new accounts will not change unless you deliberately downgraded this initial account.

    What about the Bryans

    Hi Bryan,.
     

    Thank you for choosing Windows 8 and please provide an opportunity to help you.
     

    You use a Microsoft (with Microsoft electronic mail connection) or a local account?
     

    If you use a Microsoft account, you will need to enter your email password to log into your account. If you have a local account, you can remove the password by following these steps:
     
    (a) press the Windows key + C, select settings
    (b) click change PC settings, select users
    (c) click on change password under sign in options
    (d) when you are prompted, type your current password and leave the password empty.

  • How to find the password for the administrator account (forgot it and don't know the trick)

    I recently got a new labtop and there was already an admin account and a guest won't be able to access admin one I used the prompt, its my labtop but the person known not more because it is a gift, so is it every way possible to clear all the stuff off this or just be able to access the administrator account

    The laptop has the option to restore to day? Some come with a disk partition to do that, while others came with BONES and CD drivers (or the ability to create).

    If it came from someone else, it's always a good idea to wipe it and start over anyway; not sure what this person was in, or what are the sites he visits. Would not be a good day for you if the black helicopters landed in your front yard to cause something that accesses the internet of this laptop without realizing you it :-(

  • I forgot my password for the administrator account and am stuck on the comments! Reset the password.

    I just changed my password of the Admin account as my fraping friends keep me, I chose a very long password, but he forgot the moment I got to the school house.  I now have only the available Guest account.  What should I do? Help, please.

    Here you go:

    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 before you 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. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • I can't create a password for my Windows account.

    I can't put a password for my administrator account. Whenever I try, I get a message saying that Windows cannot change the password.
    I can set passwords on other accounts, just not this one.
    All the answers?

    Hi SilentEngima,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    You can try to create another administrator account and then you can keep the new account and delete the old one (be sure to copy the necessary files in system folders is first!), or you can use the new account to set the password for the old account (e.g. from the control panel-> user accounts).

    Let us know if this helps you or if assistance is needed.

    If this is done, you have any other suggestions other that disconnect all computers in our House and hide the?
