Re: Reset User Account Password

Shawn,

Well, I tried to save all the programs, but I couldn't get a hard drive, so I just erased them, but they didn't mean that much. Anyway, after I re-booted, and the computer restarted a few times, I finally have my computer back. Thank you so much. You have finally fixed my computer's unfixable problems. There is no way I could repay you.

Thanks,
Adam

Re: Reset User Account Password

Hello Daniel, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Cracks are not allowed to be discussed as per the forum rules.

You can reset the password using one of the options in the tutorial that best fits yoru situation. For example, OPTION THREE if you do not remember it.

Re: Reset User Account Password

Hey,
My keyboard started to go mental in the last day so i reset my pc to 2 days ago (when i got it brand new) to see if it would fix it as i tried everything else.

But it also changed the password (1 account/admin) and for the life of me i cant remember it.Is there anyway to revert back using BIOS?

Or do i have to create that cd?

***I remebered it after all

Hello Minotar, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Yes, creating the disk in METHOD THREE of this tutorial will allow you to reset your password.
