I forgot my computer password. ~help!~?

Question

I somehow forgot my HP user password. I changed it a week ago and never loged off till my computer did it automatically. It does it every week to reset. But now I can't remember it at all. even my password hint makes no sence. is there a way to reset it or find it?? I am having to use my guest account to get on the internet.

You'll need a floppy disc, and a way to upload that file to their site, and it'll take three days.

Sorry, that's the best I can do.

Answer 2

Boot into Safe Mode (by pressing F8 repeatedly about twice a second as soon as the computer starts) and log into the Administrator user without a password. Then change your user's password.

If that fails, I've used this many times for my clients (BE SURE to read the instructions. It's not a single click solution):

I don't condone using this on anyone's computer that the owner hasn't given permission for. I doubt that's your intent, I just want it here for the record.
