Vista - Forgot my admin password

Can anyone help me? I have searched for three days for a fix and I'm about to throw this dagg gum computer out the window. I miss Micisoft Windows NT!!!! But someome told me Vista was alot better.

I had just changed my password, and I am also listed as the admin and STUPID me forgotten my new (admin) password. My first mistake was I didn't create a separate user for myself. But I cant look back now. My floppy drive is broken so any back up disk is not possible.

What can I do to either retrieve my password or change it. Please help!!

If you have access to your PC (or another) with a CD writing Capability Go Here and you can create a bootable CD that will reset any vista password.

My cd/dvd drive is broken... THanks to my daughter!! The only way I'm still able to use my computer is through my husbands account.

oh, that does make things more difficult the only thing I can suggest is to replace the drive ( which is something that you would probably need to to soon any way). The cost of cd/dvd writers is very reasonable these days $20 - $30 I would guess, I'm not in US so that's a guess based on local prices in UK) only other way would be a bootable USB pen drive if you have access to one of 1GB or larger.

the main thing I can say is that the problem is solvable

Just a thought If your Husbands Account is also an admin account you can reset your password from there, if not then it's a case of the disc route.

I totally agree with you about purchasing a new CD/DVD Drive. Thanks for all of you help.
