Protocol questions - for more vivid mental image.
The logon screen, is it a 'classic logon' screen? IE do you get the option to enter a username and password or do you click an icon and then are prompted for a password?
Scenario 1
If not, you can use the logon 'panic button' = use Ctrl+Alt+Del trick {Ctrl+Alt+Del pressed twice} to make sure you get two fields to fill so that you log on as the
Administrator. IE username = Administrator
password = {leave blank} Press enter and if you gain access, proceed to the Control panel or run | compmgmt.msc | local users and groups. From users, rightclick your account and then set password. Set the password, remember it, logoff and then logon with your credentials.
Scenario 2
Please take note this tip (if it works) is intended to
regain a forgotten Vista Administrator password. It is
not intended to illegally hack into a Vista system that’s not owned by you.
- Reboot the Windows Vista and boot up with Windows Vista installation DVD.
- While the Windows Vista installation interface pops up, click the Repair You Computer link at the bottom-left corner.
- Next, the System Recovery Options dialog box appears. There are few options but we want the Command Prompt option. Click on this option now.
- In the Vista Command Prompt, type mmc.exe and press the ENTER key to bring up the Microsoft Management Console.
- Click on the File menu, select Add / Remove Snap-in option, locate and select the Local Users and Groups on the left panel, and click Add button to add it to the right panel.
- Now, the Choose Target Machine dialog box pop up. Ignore this by clicking the Finish button
- Click OK button and return to the MMC window (the first window that showed when you entered mmc.exe). In the left panel, double-click Local Users and Group that was added in step 5. Click on User folder, locate and right-click the target Vista logon account whose password you need to set.
Guess you should know what to do now. Select the
Set Password from the right-click menu to set a new password / reset old password.
Scenario 3
There is software out there than can do all the leg work for you like - NT & registry editor. Careful though. Can render your system useless if you don't know how to use them.
