User Account Control Password
When I purchased my laptop some 4 years ago, a user account control password was set. I have absolutely no idea what it is. It is set as the administrator account. Up til Vista caused a problem with my user profile I didn't have any problem since I logged in under that account. Is there any way to find out what my password was set as. I've tried downloading ophcrack and it didn't find the password. HELP. I can't do any updating until I figure out what the password is. Toshiba can't help.
Hello Bandybear, and welcome to Vista Forums.
What is the issue you are having with your user profile?
Have you already tried doing a
system restore at boot using a restore point (if available) dated before you started having this user profile issue?
Hope this helps for now,
Shawn

Nope, that doesn't work cuz I don't know my user account control password. Seems like there's not much I can do without this password. Is there any way to go into the system and "find" it. I've tried what I usually use for passwords all to no avail. Just about ready to give up. This is sooooo frustrating
You can type in any administrator account's password if prompted for one in User Account Control.
I take it your user account is only a standard user and not an administrator?
Do you have another user (ex: parent) that is an administrator on the computer?
