Login Troubles

Hi,
I have tried to access my user account and it says to enter a password..
My account has never had a password before and i have tried to put in all the passwords i have used in the past.
I am of Administrator level and the computer built in Administrator is disabled although i know the password.

I cannot access my computer at all as the account i use is the only account on the computer..

How can i reset my computer to allow myself access to my account or access the computer's admin account to remove my password?

Hello Danny,
Here is the link to the tutorial showing you the solution. In your case, you can ONLY use **** Method Three ****, the other options are not applicable to your situation. Also read the NOTE section (B). Good luck.

No problem.
PS. After you have regain access to your computer, you might want to consider having 2 admin accounts, for situation like this, or if one admin acct has been affected or corrupted, you still have another one to fall back on.
I keep my built-in admin active. I never use it, but it's my trump card in the sleeve.

Someone had the same problem. An MVP, (I think), gave an explanation. But it's a l while back. If you care to or want to, go through all those pages from vista account administration, you may find the thread. Don't ask me how long ago, not a clue.
