  • Lost for the administrator account password.

    I created two accounts in Windows Vista, an administrator account and the other a basic user account.  Unfortunately, it was a long time ago and I hadn't used the administrator access is some time and I forgot the password.  Now I can't access all the functions that require administrator rights.  Is there a way to 'reset' of the administrator account or create a new account administrator without initial password?

  • Unable to connect to the administrator account, password forgotten

    original title: I've recently implemented an invited for my family and my own personal administrator account.
    But a few days ago, I forgot the password for my personal account and I tried every password I used previously for social or email address because I tend to use the same password for accounts because of my bad memory, but none of my passwords I use work so I was forced to share the family account but I can't do one of my projects on this user because of the limited access has. Is that what I can do and I don't have a recovory disc thing.

  • forgot my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk. AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put them on the administrative account? __

    I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk.  AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?

    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.

  • 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.

    Hello

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • 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 want to reset the administrator account

    I want to reset the administrator account on a used pc I got for my children, how it's done on xp?

    If you mean you want to reset the password, then the best information that Microsoft will allow in this forum is in the following article:

    "Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/189126 >

    Since you recently acquired this computer, by far the best advice would be to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows on the computer.  This way you won't have to worry about malware (or anything else you want to see your children) which may be present on your machine.  Most of the machines OEM (HP, Dell, etc.) can reinstall Windows as part of a "System Recovery" press a key designated when the first splash screen appears at startup.  You must be quick, however.  If it is not an option, go to the manufacturer's Web site and download the manual for your machine which should tell you how to reinstall Windows.

  • XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account

    Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!

    You use the built-in account named "Administrator"?  If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."

    Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).

    You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.

    For XP Home:

    You must restart in Mode without failure.  Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again.   If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image).  Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen.  Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.  If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).

    For XP Pro:

    Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.  The 'classic' logon box will appear.  Type "Administrator" (without the quotes).  Once again, the default password is empty.

    Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts).  You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.
