    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...

    Thanks for your timely reponse..

    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,
