The Windows XP forgotten administrator account password

Similar Questions

• 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?

  Are windows puts an administrator account during the installation?  I'm the only admin user on windows, but I can't do much like I said I need admin which remove, access or open the files.

  I use windows 7

  Original title: Admin account

  You must be an administrator, because the first account you create during Setup must be an administrator-level account.  There is also a built-in account (with a current name 'administrator'), but it is disabled, unless you are in Safe Mode (restart hold F8 for safe mode).  As soon as the integrated, you can sign in and upgrade your real account on a daily basis at the level of administrator control panel.

  Note: even if you are an administrator, some processes will ask confirmation continue.  This is recommended because it prevents the virus of piracy of your profile and using your account.

  Using the elevated command prompt, I programmed an account lockout threshold wide system.  This policy affects all accounts except the built-in Administrator account.

  What settings should I set to force the built-in Administrator account to comply with the policy of /lockoutthreshold net accounts?

  I don't think that you can activate for local administrator or domain administrator. Because in the case of a system crash, these two things are those who can unlock the pc/account.

  If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

  You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
  • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
  • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
  • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

• Remove the ability of the child to change Microsoft Account password

  I created my 13 years with a Microsoft account to connect to Windows 8.1.  It's a child account.  I changed its hours Configuration / password and parental control limits.  It's great.  I get home from work and I can't connect it.  He said, ' I could not open a session and assumed my password has expired, so I changed it. "  It's not big.  He explained how he did and its exactly what I'd do if I forgot my password.  Although, as a child account, it should not be able to change his own password!  What can I do to prevent it from changing his own account password?
