Re: Lost password

May I know the lost account's type,
Is it the build-in administrator account?
If the account is not the Vista's build-in administrator, you can reset its
password, by the build-in administrator account in Vista.

You can't actually "recover" any passwords, but you can log in using the
built-in Administrator account (provided you thought to enable it) and use
it to reset the passwords of any other user accounts.
