Administrator Password

Ok, here's the scenario... I was trying to go back and set my personal
account to Standard which I was successful at doing. Now the Administrator
Password is the one that I guess came with the computer. It's called ASN.. I
have know Idea what the password is for this account. How can I recover a
lost Administrator Password if there are no other administrators on the
computer except for the one that came with the computer... I hope I'm clear
in my question...

Re: Administrator Password

The easiest way would be to contact the maker of the computer?

As a last resort, there is software available that you can purchase that
will solve the problem, easily.

The program that I recommend is the first one, it is very easy to create a
recovery disk that you can use on any Windows PC. These recovery programs
usually cost about 30-40 USD.

Hi SDM912,

In addition to Ronnie's post, this tutorial will show you how to reset a user account password. It sounds like you may need to do Method Three in the tutorial.

Hope this helps,

There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.
