Worth a try though. Try restarting the computer in safe mode, and see if you can access the admin accounts from there -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||

 IRC Nickname: Matt|Georgio9 Group: Emeritus Posts: 706 Member No.: 94 Joined: January 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | This guide should do the trick for you. It's a LiveCD called "System Rescue CD" based on Linux and it's a great package for just about anything. I've used it many times but I've never had to use it for reseting passwords. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...stem-rescue-cd/ --------------------   | ||

(It takes ages though). Also , if you have a problem remember passwords then I would recommend KeePass. I use it to store passwords/usernames. I have a master passphrase which is secure (200+ characters) and quite easy to remember. You can also have a keyfile if you want it to be more secure. Then it saves everything into a databse which you can just store somewhere safe. --------------------  Joined September '04 | ||

The part of it he is referring to is: ntpasswd However you shouldn't use it if you have anything on your PC that is encrypted based on your windows password. Did see a disk once that would work out what your current password is. It would generate a hash that you input on the website, but you had to pay to see the password or wait x days for it to be revealed. Linux Rescue Disk can also recover deleted files on multiple filesystems, copy/recover damaged disks (using tools like ddrescue) and of course just being able to get into the windows filesystem to edit things. -------------------- | ||

It may/may not have a password. You can change administrative settings that way. --------------------  "If at first you don’t succeed, call it version 1.0" | ||
