I'm trying to use my install disk re vista to fix some problems with my
laptop but it won't let me on without the admin password. When I'm signed is
as me I should have all rights as administrator becfause that as the only
sign in name. So I decided to reinstall and fix vista. But it won't let me
without a password.

Can anyone help me. Ive been working on this for weeks and the more I
ignore it the more locked out of the computer I get.

Hello Mar,

What brand and model of laptop do you have? I'll see if I may be able to find the instructions from your laptop manufacturer's website on how to do a factory recovery of your Vista, and post a link back for you on it.

I forgot the adminstrator password to my computer and i've only been able to
use my guest account and i've just recently been getting viruses and they are
making my computer run very slow, i cant scan my computer unless i put in the
andimistrator password in and i didnt create a password reset disk or a
system recovery disk. Is there anything i can do to get into my account
without reinstalling windows vista?

Hello David,

You can use METHOD THREE in the tutorial below to reset your password.

Reset User Account Password

However, if you have been infected by a virus, it may be best to format and start clean to be safe.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
