Question

I FORGOT my administrator's password for my computer, who do I logged on

Answer 1

if you have a seperate computer, you can use Back Track to create new accounts and get into any windows system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BackTrack

Answer 2

Well if you have another account and have an windows xp well go to control panel>user accounts and then select your account and then change password it will not ask for previous password ok good luck.

Answer 3

There are programs that you can load onto a USB, and you can change the password through the BIOS (its risky though)

Answer 4

well, that was stupid. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 5

Well, you could get tricky and download on another computer a program called OPHcrack.

Put OPHcrack on a CD, boot your computer from a CD, follow the on screen promps and it will adventually tell you the password.

OR

When your computer is booting up repetitively press F8

Adventually a whole list of options will come up, choose the option to "boot up in safe mode"

Once you have booted up in safe mode you will see two accounts

One called

Administrator

and the other one which is your account

Log in the one called "Administrator" (there should be no password, or if there is it will be one that has been set when you first installed windows so it should be basic... hopefully)

Once logged in as Administrator, simply go to control panel and change the password of the other account.

Then reboot your computer, boot it up normally and your password should be changed

PS: Going through the safe mode way is a lot easier than using the OPHcrack way.

Hope this helps
