    How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • The installation of some software requires admin password I've ever used

    Installation of some software requires the admin password, I've ever used.

    Until this two apps will not install on Windows Vista PC, without admin password.

    Ever need before and it's been several years that laptop has been obtained.

    Never needed before.

    One is an upgrade of the software that did not before.

    Any ideas?

    Installation of App still requires a user account to be an administrator. If you are not currently logged as long as administrator, then you need to switch to an administrator account. Otherwise if you are currently on an Admin account, there could be some problems as to what may cause this.

    Can you provide information on the following:

    1 when was the last time you were able to install something in your PC?

    2. have you made any changes to the computer?

    Thank you
