| | RE: forgot pass word to get into my laptop Just to be sure, are you talking about a BIOS startup / system password, or are you talking about a Windows Vista password? Was it a regular admin account password, or a password-protected and enabled built-in admin account? If this is a Vista admin account password you're talking about, and if your built-in admin account is still disabled, AND if you can still log on to a standard user account on the system, then there's a procedure for fixing things without just killing the password. That procedure is at http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administ..._of_admin.aspx That method (#2 would probably be what you want.) is less risky than simply cracking the account. If you have encrypted data (that is important to you) in the account out of which you are locked, it is especially important that you consider carefully before moving on this matter.
