UNSOLVED
administrator password
hello.
I bought a dell inspiron 640m laptop in March 2007 and is configured with vista basic. Unfortunately since i have not used it again as i was out of the counrty, i have forgotten the vista administrator password and i cant log in.
is there any way i can either reinstall the os or simply log in. I dont have a recovery disk.
Any solutions will be appreciated alot.
- Niraj088vI`m assuming the password you have forgotten is for your Admin Account, and not for the Main Admin Account which is hidden.Reboot your computer and just before the boot screen press f8, then choose safe mode.Once you're at the login screen choose Administrator, it doesn't require a password. This is the Main Admin Hidden AccountYou can change any and all passwords on all accounts so go to your own Admin Account and change the password

As far as I know, that works on XP, no on Vista. (If I am wrong, please let me know, I tried but I tried on mine and is not there the Admin account)Check this linkAnd also take a look to this post
