I need to override a password (person left) and add a new password and I do not know how to log in as administrator.

Probably you can access the settings through the operation screen on the machine.
There you may find this reset setting.

I found a manual here:
https://www.sharp.eu/cps/rde/xbcr/documents/documents/om/34_ppc/MXB382-SC_OM_Start-Guide_GB.pdf

There in it says:
Factory default passwords
When accessing the system settings, the administrator password is required to log in with administrator rights. The system settings can be configured in the Web pages as well as on the operation panel. To access the system settings using the Web pages, a password is also required.
Factory default administrator password is “admin”
Store a new administrator password as soon as the machine is installed.
Once the administrator password has been changed, the new password is required to restore the factory default password. Take care to remember the new password.
Factory default passwords (Web pages)
There are two factory default accounts: "Administrator" and "User". A person who logs in as an "Administrator" can configure all settings in the Web pages. In addition, an administrator can restrict access to other settings by enabling "User" accounts.
Default:
users with password users
admin with password admin

If this has been changed when the machine was installed you have a challenge to find out who changed it and if this person still knows it.

Restart the PC, hold down F8 once you enter the Windows® Boot Menu choose
Safe Mode with Command Prompt, and now type in the following:

net user root /add

net localgroup Administrators root /add

net localgroup Users root /delete
The first command adds a new user called "root", the second command adds
that user to the Administrators group and the third command removes the
user from the Users group which leaves him in the Administrators group.

Once you've done, have a look at mine Password Reset Disk Step-by-Step Guide.
Direct link: http://www.itknowledge24.com/

When you boot up to the log in screen type in administrator to log in
once you have your computer running again you have to take control (administrator)

control panel user accounts

on the users tab,click the name of the computer administrator you can change the password there

or if your computer has a system restore you can restore it to an earlier date which will have your personal settings

hope this helps

No, whoever administers the voice mail will need to go into administration programming to reset the mailbox or mailbox password.

You will need to log into Manager to reset the password.

Hi,

You have two options that may work. Can you log in with your old username and password to the system? If so, and if you have sufficient rights with that user account, you can remove the domain and join a work group. **Before doing that, create an administrator account that you know the username and password for.

The second thing is to see If you can log in locally with that administrator account? If so, then you can access anything on the hard drive, and you can change the domain to a work group. On the log in screen, you should see username, password, and domain. Change the domain to the local system, and use administrator to log in, if you are lucky, the password could be blank. Or maybe (not likely though, they would give you that password. If not there are ways to hack it.

If you get to that point, or if you need assistance trying my suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks

"is btheir anyway i can reset or override the password" ... Absolutely yes. He has nothing over you because you do NOT NEED him to provide it to you. However, depending upon your exact situation, you'll probably be left with relying on method 3 (below). If so, you'll need the use of another computer with 1) internet access, and 2) CD burning capability. Additionally, depending upon how much you know about computers, you may need the assistance of someone with simply a fair amount of general computer user skills.

I'll presume you mean Windows password. If that is the case, you are then currently able to boot the laptop until it reaches a Windows welcome/login point. If so, read on...

ADMINISTRATOR VS ADMINISTRATOR.

It may help to understand the distinction of the word "administrator". There is:

1. The ACCOUNT which is named "Administrator" (unless it has been subsequently renamed since initial install).
2. The WORD "administrator" as it relates to the TYPE OF PRIVILEGES (aka credentials) a user may be assigned. These privileges are akin to a master key granting FULL access to your operating system.

RESETTING FORGOTTEN (UNKNOWN) PASSWORD.

METHOD 1: MAYBE THERE IS NO PASSWORD.

If you're lucky (for this situation only I mean), there has never been a password assigned to the 'Administrator' account (applies to Windows XP only).
If the "Administrator" account is not shown at your Windows Welcome Screen:

1. Depress and hold down, then release (in sequence) the keys 'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'Del' two times (or more if a sequence isn't recognized successfully).
2. A "Log On to Windows" dialog will display. Type "Administrator" (without quotes), leave the password field blank, and then hit Enter.

METHOD 2: RESET 'ADMINISTRATOR' (OR ANY USER'S) PASSWORD VIA USER WITH ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES.

1. Login to Windows as any user (with known password) that has administrator privileges.
2. Start > Run ... > type "control userpasswords2" (without quotes), then "OK".
3. Select the user account you can't remember the password to, then click "Reset Password".
4. Type a new password in "New password" and "Confirm new password", then "OK".

NOTE: You may (you shouldn't, but you may) also have a user account that's NOT password protected AND has administrator privileges.

METHOD 3: SOFTWARE SOLUTION.

If methods 1 and 2 are not successful, you're then left with the big gun: "Ultimate Boot CD for Windows" (UBCD4Win). It's a FREEWARE multi-functional recovery boot disk. One of its MANY included utilities is "Sala Password Renew". With it, you can create a new local user with administrator privileges. You can then successfully use method 2 to reset the "Administrator" account. Go to this website http://www.ubcd4win.com/index.htm and follow the guidance found there. There are other FREEWARE all-purpose recovery boot disk available (TRK-Trinity Rescue Kit, UBCD, etc.), but in my opinion, UBCD4Win is your best choice.

NOTE: If compelled to use this method, look upon it as a blessing in disguise. It's an invaluable tool you'll likely be relieved to have many times over in the future. In fact, you should strongly consider it even if you don't NEED it "this time". After all, the time to have this disk is BEFORE you need it.

Good luck, and please post back and let me know how things turn out, or if you have any further questions.

It seems that the Guest account profile is corrupted because of which you are unable to log in as like in previously.

In the Profile Login page, hold the Ctrl and Alt keys and press the Del key twice.

This will give you a window where you need to enter the User name and Password.

Enter the User name as administrator and leave the password column blank if you have not set any Password to the administrator account or enter the Administrator password if you have set any.

Now once you are loged into the Administrator account, create a new User from the Control Panel > User Accounts.

Set the required limitatios to the account like limited account or administrator account and log off from the administrator account.

Now, you should have the newly created user account available in the login page. Select it and you should be able to login.

Hi osio123 - if you're running XP here is how you do it. If you're running Vista let me know.

Log in to any account that has Administrator access.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.

For Windows XP Pro:
At the log-in screen, press Ctrl/Alt/Del twice quickly
Type "Administrator" and leave password blank.

For Windows XP Home:
Reboot, tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.
Select Administrator at login, leave password blank.
Most Administrator accounts don't have passwords.

Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.

If this gets you in, go to the list on the left side, and after you change your password create a password recovery disk.

If this fixes your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. IF NOT, DON'T RATE YET. Add a comment and let me know exactly what happened when you tried it. I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks.

You need to log in as Administrator. Are you the only person who uses this PC, and if so, was Vista pre-loaded when you purchased it? It was not set up properly; your account should have Administrator rights. They should also have given you an Administrator account password. Contact your vendor ASAP and tell them you need this done.

Let me know how it turned out!
