| | Re: forgot my password in windows vista home premium Hi dnguyen2007, Welcome to Vista Forums.  When you say "Master Account", do you mean the built-in Administrator account or some other account? In the mean time, you can find a solution for resetting the password to gain access here. Reset User Account Password Hope this helps you, Shawn |

| | Re: forgot my password in windows vista home premium Same problem. What all these solutions seem to miss is an actual solution. If we can't log in and can't see the Administrator part on the welcome screen, we obviously can't use a command prompt! |

| | Re: forgot my password in windows vista home premium Hi Bettyboop, Have you tried Method Three here? If he is completely locked out of his computer, he will need to do this on another computer to use on his. If all else fails, he can boot from the Vista installation DVD and reinstall, but he will lose anything that was not backed up. Reset User Account Password Shawn |
