  1. The first password recovery approach suggests that you log on to the computer using another user account that has administrator credentials. Once you're logged in as the admin, open command prompt and type the following command:

    control userpasswords2

    Click the user account that you forgot the password for, and then click Reset Password. Type a new password in both the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and then click OK. You should now be able to log on to Windows with the user account and the new password.
