one of my clients has lost his password and the local admin password is set, so I cannot login to his pc at all to reset the password.
Can you guys recommend some FREE password reset programs for the local admin account.

View 6 Replies View RelatedA friend of my sisters has asked me to look at her PC, as it keeps "just crashing". A thorugh technical description to help I know!.However, I have found that the PC, which is running Vista Home Premium, has 3 user accounts.
1) Admin account with password
2) Standard User
3) Guest
I can not log into the admin account as I do not have the password, and my sisters friend is unreachable.The standard user account, wont letme do anything remotely techy, or use any system tools, or install my own PC diagnostic tools. The user account doesn't have the correct permission. It wont even update any of the virus definitions with out asking for the password.I have a copy of Active Password changer, that I have used in the past in these circumstances, but the PC was bought from a big retail chain, and has been set up with the usual hidden partion with important files on it. So Active Password Changer can not see the partion with the SAM database on it to change the admin password.
I just upgraded to Vista from XP. It appears that I should have setup a admin password prior to upgrade. Can you advise any options on how to get it? If I need to remove Vista, can you tell me how I can do that and revert back to XP safetly? At this point I am ok with not keeping the info on my old PC.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two highschool daughters with laptops they use at school running Vista Home Premium. I have them running on user accounts and I don't want them to have the admin password because if they know what it is they will simply start typing it in all the time, which defeats the whole purpose of running as a user account. There are only two things they need to do that Vista Home Premium UAC doesn't seem to allow without the admin password - connect thumbdrives and connect printers. They need to do both of these things at school.
Is there any way to disable the admin account security only on these two tasks? Also I can easily upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. If Vista Home Premium can't do it, would upgrading to W7 Ultimate enable me to potentially resolve this security problem? Thumbdrives are the new CD/DVD so it seems really shortsighted not to have a CD/DVD-style security model for them.
On my grandmas computer, I created a 2nd account and made it the admin account. At some point, this account somehow became a standard account and now there is no admin. Now whenever I try 2 do nething, it asks for the admin password but the area where you would enter the password and the OK key are greyed out. ive tryed a few things I thaut of and a few things from other sites including starting in safe mode and reinstalling vista completely, of course reinstalling didnt work because it needs permission to run. Ive posted on like 5 forums and asked all my friends and no1 has a clue how to fix this or even how its posible so if ne1 has ne idea wat 2 do.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I initially installed Vista Premium the computer would boot directly into the Administator account. I then set up 2 accounts beside the admin and Vista boots directly into the Admin Desktop. I disabled the Admin account after establishing my other accounts with administrator rights. I know get a message saying that my password is incorrect and then after acknowledging it I go to the Account selection screen.
I would like to have the account screen come up after enabling the admin account vice having the OS boot up and drop me directly into the Admin account.
Can anyone explain how to enable that users are able to download and execute files, so they can install programs, while preventing access to system folders like "C:program files" and "C:windows"? Right now I have succeeded in configuring a user account so they can write to the hard disk in most locations except system folders, but when users try to run a program (in order to install it in a folder where they are allowed to write files), they are still asked for a password. So I want to disable that password somehow so users can run and install programs without requiring an administrator password.
View 5 Replies View Relatedmany things to learn! been using my pc for a while now and finally decided to set it up correctly as I learned about the need to have separate admin account with individual users. so now it is done and i'm learning i should have made a cd for password retrieval if password for admin account doesn't work.
Well, my password doesn't work for my admin account and i didn't make a password retreival cd. So it seems i have to reload vista? my desktop pc is an HP and like most new pc don't come have disks. if i decide to reload vista, will i lose all my
personal data, pics, mp3, docs unless i copy them all to dvd? or will vista reinstall itself without losing personal data. i seem to remember that on older ms-os's you could reload the os and not lose you personal data?
im using another admin account atm, and i haf this hidden admin account that is disactivated, i found out that this hidden admin does not haf any password to it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I install Vista, it wants to force me to create a local account, and it won't let me create one called Administrator, becuase the name is already used (thus the Administrator account exists).

How do I get past the "Choose a user name and picture" screen and log in as Administrator so I can just install the network drivers and join my domain?

I have Vista Home Premium on an Acer Laptop and all was fine until I decided to change my user password. I had or have (who knows now at this stage) an Administrator,User and HDD password installed on my machine. I went into my setup and changed my user password from set to clear but left my other passwords at set. when I exited and saved changes and rebooted I could not get back in with any and all passwords. To make things worse I cannot boot from cd either. It goes to press <F2> go to setup , Enter Current Password: ? then Invalad password I have tried the F10, F12, Del, F5, F8 keys and nothing seems to get past that login screen. Does anyone have any inexpensive suggestions on how I can get into this computer, or how I can get to a command prompt. Can I un-solder the internal Battery and then re attach it.

Before I had a chance to get to it, some smart person managed to power it up and force a shutdown during the initial Vista installation run.

I have tried Safe Mode and Repair (found no problems), and still get the same message. I heard there is a way to reset Vista to 'out of box' setting.

I can no longer play any form of sound file unless its directly from a CD or a .wav file. I only get a single popping sound as I try to load any WMA or MP3 file and it says "media changing" before it loads. But I can still play WMV files with sound and picture. I thought that a solution to this problem might be to reset the player, but there seems to be no way of doing that without a clean reinstall of Vista.
