I'm sorry if you've seen alot of these posts, but I'm sure I looked at all of them and can't find anything to work for me! :( I have forgot my administrator password and I can't remember it for the life of me. (usually I dont have this problem. it just so happened I made a new password when I had like 3 days of no sleep, and I completly forgot everything in those days)



Dell XPS 410
Windows Vista Home Premium OEMact



1. I have no other administrator accounts.
Only 2 Standard user accounts and 1 administrator.


2. I tried the "Safe Mode" procedure. Hit f8, start in Safe Mode and go to users and whatever. But when I go to Safe Mode on this computer, it loads up and there are still 3 accounts at the windows login and I can't get into the administrator account cause there is still a password. And yes its safe mode cause when I login to my standard account it says safe mode.

3. I tried doing that "clearing forgotten passwords" that it says in the manual. I'm hoping I did it wrong and someone will help me correct what I did. I took the computer lid off and took the jumper piece off (as it says to remove the memory), I started the computer again then it says to re-put it on after you get to the windows desktop. (When I started it up without the jumper on, it still went to the windows sign-in.. and there was still a password on the accounts.) I went ahead and put it back on and restarted the computer, but no justice.

4. I absolutly do not want to reinstall the whole computer because it takes a looong time to hook up the internet.(something i blame my sister for getting a dumb internet service) I just wish to do everything else before I reinstall windows vista.

Thanks for your time!
