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.

Reset User Account Password

Hope this helps,
