| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Vista password. I entered a new password for my administrator account and then tried to log on but was denied access. I must have fat fingered the keys when I entered the new password. Now I can't reset the password or do much of anything because I have been locked out. Has anyone else had this happen. Feeling really dumb. |

| Vista 64 | Re: Vista password. Try this software: http://www.newfreedownloads.com/Wind...d-Changer.html It isn't free, but i think the demo will let you use it for 30 days. Don't try and SET a password with this software, just leave the 'new password' entry blank. The program does not re-write the hash. It is much safer to leave it blank and change it the next time you logon. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Vista password. Or you could download this live cd for vista and burn it to a cd. It is a linux distro that is bootable. Just place it in your drive and reboot. When prompted, press any key to boot from cd. You will enter a linux environment with a method to find all users and passwords of the computer. I have used the live-XP cd and it worked just fine. I presume the same goes with Vista. Oh and it's free btw. |
