There is a chance you might be able to make your way into Windows through the safe boot mode. Try that.
Yea, sadly Vista removed the default Administrator that could be accessed in safe mode :(. You could try Ophcrack. I've never used it, but I hear it's one of the best password recovery programs. Ophcrack
I haven't had a chance to try it out, and I don't know how to get it aside from torrents or knowing an IT guy, but you could try the MS DaRT Locksmith tool.
You could boot from a live disc and move all your important files to a flash drive, then reinstall.
If you're still under warranty, call tech support.
Again.. nothing you've tried worked. this will: Redirecting.... Download, burn and run Dos programs, go to password tools then go to active password changer. Problem solved.
I wouldn't listen to this guy. He has Old in his name, and we all know old people are awful at computers.
Should've made a password reset disc!
Once you get back into your computer, go into program files and delete system 32. You'll never have this problem again.
Yeah you could always call tech support.
I would suggest using the software from this place: Windows Password Reset - Reset Windows Password with Windows Password Recovery Software
I used it to reset the password on my cousin's windows 7 laptop. It will work for vista too. Don't bother for the free version; it will just bring you right up to the point where you can reset the password and then tell you that you have to buy it to reset it. If you don't want to pay for it, you might could find a free download of it somewhere like a torrent. Not that i'm advocating piracy,:roll:, but i doubt this is something your going to need more than once; so why pay for it. Anyway, i'd definitely say give it a try, it worked like a charm for me. Just make sure you pick the right account if you have more than one to choose from.
Download regedit, find where you password is stored in the registry, copy it and get this tool John the Ripper password cracker to decrypt it. Or another decrypting tool.
:laughhard:
That wouldn't be possible if he can't even log on...Quote:

Lol shutup I haven't used a windoze computer for at least 3 years, and it was 2:30 in the morning when I wrote that.
I'm sure you can get in by installing linux or something.
I found the 'download regedit' really funny. And yes I'm sure you could use Linux to fix the problem. Linux is tha shit.
Oh, yeah. Because linux is able to manage windoze file systems and edit them. Yeah, of course.
