| | Vista password I bought a Windows Vista Home Premuim maching in August of 2007. I never set a password. I just rebooted, and cannot log in because my "password is not correct." How can I reset the password? (I never created the password re-set disk, because I didn't set a password.) Right now I have a boat anchor under my desk, running Vista that won't let me into my computer. Thanks for your help. |

Since you do not have a password, you should be able to just click on it without entering anything in the password box. Check these items: Is this a BIOS logon screen or Vista logon screen? Did you try to setup a automatic logon at one time? If so, see the Warning and NOTE for step 8: Logon Automatically This will show you how to reset the password if the above did not help.

| | RE: Vista password I am in the same situation. I purchased a Windows Vista Home Basic Version OEM product and I am being asked for a password that I don't recall creating. Where is this password coming from? Did installing Vista trigger my OS to produce this password? Any help is appreciated. I am locked out of using this computer otherwise.
