1.you can go into safe mode (F8 at logo when booting up) and enter as administrator and then go to accounts and change windows password and that's with XP. I haven't forgotten password for a pc before but can enter any XP pc in safe if the owner hasn't gone into safe mode and designated a password for "administrator" and usually only have a password for the user account but never have tried on Vista or Win7. 2.if that does not work,you can use software to reset the windows password,my favorite is windows password Recovery Tool 3.0
I would like to introduce Windows Password Key 8.0 . It not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It creates a password recovery CD/DVD,USB Flash Drive for home, business and enterprise. It works perfectly to reset your Windows password. You can download it from "lost windows password" com
The only thing I suggest on this one is to call the customer service number for your computer and talk with a computer tech. Or call a local computer shop and see if they could tell you what to do. Good luck next time remember to write down your password so you don't forget that's what I do.
