| | Re: Windows Password You wouldnt happen to have something like a window password reset disc would you? If you have 100% no way to reset your password, use this site. There is a iso that will reset your windows password. (is your administrator account enabled? It doesnt appear in safe mode) It will work with any vista version (I used it before.) http://www.walkernews.net/2007/08/26...ount-password/ "Will" <Will@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:27802144-7F00-4075-B745-BA0FEEBB832E@xxxxxx Quote: > Here is the situation: > Mother got daughter laptop > Mother put in her name/password (presumably) upon initial boot > Laptop turned on/off (cold) several times with no problems > Daughter changes the name -does nothing with password > Now upon startup she is asked for a password (never happened before) and > the > password that her mother initially used is not working. > Machine is asking for a password for the daughter's name not mothers > help > > -- > Will |
