• Forgotten password - no disc reset

  I have Windows XP Home Edition and I forgot my password of the administrator account.  I have no other admin account set up.  Will my password be reset if I do a system restore?  I hate to do anything that shuts down the computer because I'm afraid of not being able to get on it again.  Terribly afraid to try to start the system in safe mode as suggested someone... Help, please!

  To do a system restore, you must be logged in as an administrator.  When you do so, it will restore password to the State they were when the backup is restored.  If you arrive to be currently logged in as an administrator and have forgotten the password, you can reset it as shown here:

  'Forgotten your Windows XP Home password? "- Part 3: define a new password as an administrator.

  Hi Jorgensd,

  ·         Do you have any other administrator account on the computer?

  If you have different administrator account you can log in to that account and change or reset the password.

  I also suggest you to read the following articles for more information on the issue:

  Is there a way to reset my Microsoft Windows Vista security while I wonder not to change the password every 60 days or more?  I am referring to the administrator account that appears once the pc is restarted.  I don't need this kind of security for this computer.

• BlackBerry smartphones HELP! Forgotten password and secret question answer!

  I forgot my password and secret answer to my account ID Blackberry. On my phone, he said that, if you forgot your password and your secret answer to your blackberry ID I have to go online and reset my password and secret my answer, but put it back online, there only one option is to reset your password and by doing this I need to write in my secret answer to my question that I forgot. All solutions?

  To reset a forgotten password, you need your secret answer. Period. If you forgot the secret answer, you will not reset the password to your BlackBerry ID. You will need to create a BlackBerry ID and try again. There is no way around that, it's a part of the security of a BlackBerry phone.

  Sorry I can't be more positive. See you soon.

• Haven't forgotten admin password no disc reset

  I have a windows 7 starter net book (laptop) and I forgot my password, I'm the only adminstrater of computer and I do not have a password reset disk so I can't do something. What should I do?

  Microsoft's policy won't cover no password recovery and cracking but if you have backups of data you might clean install. BUT clean install would lead all LOST data.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
