  1. what brand of computer are you using

    you can try to contact your computer vendor if it is still under warrenty

    It is good if it is HP because i am also quite well in their back up...

    Can you log into your account(s)??? What windows are you using???

    Back up all your data to the portable hard disk and search for a flie called PC and help tools.

    Alternatively tou can contact microsoft at 8008523543...


  2. check this site

    http://www.LostPassword.com/

    Download a 8 mb file from here

  3. ntpasswd     http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

    ophcrack      http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

    not responsible for damaged computers.

  4. See if you can make a seperate Admin account, Admins can delete passwords, I wanted on my aunts comp but had no pass( on XP) so I made an admin account from the log-on menus then deleted her password, easy as.

  5. With limited you cant! If you have XP or Vista press F8 under startup and select your OS form a list and then start in Safe Mode and system will load for 1-2 minutes and showing unusual chars! At User Log in you will see an unprotected account called Administrator, open it! Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Performance And Maintenance >> System Restore (It's on the left side in XP) >> Restore System to an earlyier time and restore to a time where you knew your password! Your system will restart...

  6. go to command prompt again and change!

    1.go to run on the start menu

    2.type cmd

    3.command prompt  will come up type in "net user" then click enter

    4.type in net user administrator eg["net user sabrina'] whoever the administrator name is! then press enter

    5.then type in a password,any thing you like! then repeat again and you're done!
