SOURCE: windows vista admin password
I don't think the Guest account has sufficient rights but you can try this:
Go to Start -> Run -> type: cmd and press Enter/Return.
When the CMD prompt shows up, type the following:
net user Administrator ""
this is what you just did: net user Administrator lets you change properties for the user Administrator. The double " changes the password to nothing. You can also type:
net user Administrator <whatever word you like>
Offcourse without the brackets. Mind the spaces between the commands: net<space>user<space>username<space>new password.
If this doesn't work look for Winternals ERD Commander on the Internet. This creates or is a disc with tools. Put it in your drive, reboot (from the disc) and choose the installation you want to manage. Then look up the tool for changing the Administrator password.
Let me know if this was helpful, please rate.
