I can access user password in windows vista for all accounts except the administrator account. How do I get password for administrator account
Hi,
If you don't remember the administrator password then login to the user account who has administrator acess. After logging into that users account you would be able to change the Administrator password. After logging into user account follow this steps to change password.
Click start--> go to Run--> Type "compmgmt.msc" without inverted codes--> select "local users and groups" there you select "users" in right hand side you can see "Administrator" select that option "right click" there you will get an option as "Set password" select that and change a new password.

Press
"Ctrl," "Alt" and "Delete."

Log On as An Administrator in Windows Vista
Start your computer and
allow it to continue through its startup process. By default your computer will
simply load directly to the primary user account (usually the administrator
account), but if there are multiple users on the system it will load to the
account login screen. Use the mouse to
click on the administrator account from the list of available accounts to log
on. This step is only necessary if you've customized Windows Vista with more
than one account or you have set the operating system to load the login screen
first. Enter the password
required in the password field to log on to the administrator account. Click the
"OK" or "Log On" button once you have entered the password.
This button may be labeled differently depending on the version of Windows Vista
or any GUI (graphical user interface) changes you may have made.
Log on as an administrator from within the Windows
Vista environment by clicking on "Start" and then "Log
Off." As soon as you have logged off, you will be returned to the login
screen where you can choose the administrator account from the available list.

Have you tried restarting your computer in a "Safe Mode" and login as Administrator to change your password?
I created a password for my administrator's account. Then, I attempted to enter it and log on as an administrator. It didn't work, stating that I had entered the incorrect password.
