| Guest | Re: sign on Doug If you have forgotten the password for the only administrator account on the computer, you do not have a lot of options to recover. You cannot do anything that requires administrator privileges unless you know that password. This includes enabling the built-in administrator account. You cannot even access the built-in administrator account in Safe Mode. The recovery options you do have is: 1. If you have an upgrade or full Vista installation disk, there is a procedure available that will allow to enable the built-in administrator account which you could use to change the password for the other administrator account. (This does not include a recovery disk that is supplied with a new computer) See option 2 at the following website. What do I do: I can no longer log in or elevate to an administrator account: http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administ..._of_admin.aspx 2. You can purchase a program that can reset the password on your administrator account. Here is the program I recommend. A@xxxxxx: Windows Password Recovery Software. Reset Administrator Password. XP VISTA 2003 2000 NT.: http://www.password-changer.com/ There is also instructions for creating a password recovery disk on the following website. Password recovery disk http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/, Although this is a free program, it can be a daunting process for anyone who is not familiar with such things as burning an ISO file as an image and creating it as a bootable CD. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "doug" <doug@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:CD18DE3E-9030-4915-A014-D2E47B535EE2@xxxxxx
