| | Administrative Password Hi I have Windows Vista and am trying to download a program from the internet which requires the Administrative Password. I am the administrator, but I cannot remember my password or my sign in name. I'm starting to feel pc illiterate. I started to download the password recovery disc, but it had a step in there I couldn't do, so here I am STUCK. Is there anyway to disable the password, bypass, erase, etc so I can download this program. I need it for work. Thanks. |

| | Re: Administrative Password Barb Unfortunately there is no easy way to recover an administrative password if you did not create password recovery disk when you created the admin account password. The best method I have found is the following software. You can install the product on any computer, create a boot CD, DVD, floppy disk, or USB stick and then take that boot disk to your PC and run it. When you boot from the disk, it has very easy step by step instructions to find and remove the password for any account on the system. Windows Password Recovery Software.
