| | Re: Password - Prevent or Allow to Change I have not had my computer very long and have only had access to the internet for about 2 weeks. my son helped setup the internet and at the same time we changed the password. now both of us have forgotten the password he put in the system. it should not be as difficult to get into the computer as this is proving to be. I do not like Vista. someone needs to think about what the everyday person who will be using the system and make a backdoor of some kind for people like me who have very busy lifes and might forget a stupid password!!!!!!! |

| | Re: Password - Prevent or Allow to Change Hi lgpatton, Method Three in this tutorial will show you how to reset the password and gain access to the administrator account again. Afterwards, you can use Method One to reset the other account's password from the administrator account. Reset User Account Password Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Re: Password - Prevent or Allow to Change Here is an addition to the above Tutorial. The method here works for ALL versions of Vista. Click on the start orb and type cmd into the search box and press and hold Ctrl, Shift and then press enter/return. You will need to provide administrative credentials to continue. At the prompt , type the following: net user dwarf followed by enter/return. Here is what I get for this command: Notice the line User may change password. This is currently set to No. Again at the command prompt, type the following and press enter/return: net user dwarf /Passwordchg:Yes. Here is what I get with that command: Finally, repeating this command: net user dwarf ![]() Notice the line User may change password is now set to Yes. If you wish to prevent the changing of a password, use this command: net user dwarf /Passwordchg:no ![]() Note that I have used my user name Dwarf throughout this explanation. You will, of course, need to substitute the correct user name here. |
