Answer 3

wow alot of people do this haha...

Well, here's what you do:

first, you must start your computer in safe mode. to do this, reboot your computer and as soon as it starts up, begin tapping F8.

It will give you an option to start in safe mode.

While in safe mode, log into the administrator account, which should appear at the login screen.

Once logged in, press start and click "Run..."

in the text box, type in:

control userpasswords2

it wil give you a list of the users on the computer. highlight your account and on the bottom of the window it should have a button that says "reset password", so retype whatever password you want and your golden.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 5

I don't know, but maybe this'll work.

Start (or restart) your computer.

Exactly when the computer starts, press F8 (alternately F7, I don't know but you'll probably figure it out yourself). This'll take you to a menu with some booting-options, one of them is "Safe mode".

Choose "Safe mode" by navigating to it via your keyboard and confirm by pressing "Return/Enter".

Now you should be able to "get into" your computer, without entering any passwords.

If what I say now is correct, and this really works, you should be able to check what password you have. Just navigate to where you go whenever you want to change your password. Hopefully it'll view the password you forgot.

Even if this didn't work exactly the way I described it, perhaps it gave you some ideas... I don't know, keep trying if it doesn't works!

P.S If you're not making any progress, try YouTubing on it, I believe there's a lot of this stuff there.
