Title: passwords
Post by: Bianconeri on October 27, 2009, 09:00:28 pm
today some guy fixed the internet on PC again,
so i putted all data back into the files,
putting a password on it

due to double check you gotta do, makes me almost certain that i typed the password correctly
then i restarted PC due some updating stuff, and wanted to login and password incorrect...
i tried lots of times and lots of possibilities
but im sure the first one should be right, tried caps/num lock also

that account was the only administrator account, and all my files are on it,
i only got this public account for anyone other then me, but it doesnt has administrator rights.............
so cant do anything

to play SAMP i need to downgrade my SA, but i cant download without administrator passwords

anyone got any idea to fix it?

Vista?

If so, I believe you've owned yourself.

You can't remove Vista passwords.

If you have another PC able to download, I suggest doing the following:


If you have any problem making a USB bootable disk or find the other software unsuccessful then use the link I have created to download an ISO CD image file that will make a boot disk for XP or Vista to reset any or all login passwords.
Here: http://www.dorchestercomputerrepairs.com/WindowsKey.iso
You will need a utility such as 'MagicISO' to burn the image, although there are free image burning applications avaliable to download that you can find with Google.
Once you have the disk ready, insert it into the problem computer and restart it. If you are offered to 'Press any key to boot from CD or DVD' then press any key! If the computer just boots Windows again then you will need to set the boot options in BIOS to boot from CD or DVD before it boots from the hard disk. This can usually be done by pressing F2 or DEL within a few seconds of turning on your computer and selecting the 'Boot Options' menu. See your computer maker for more details.
1: Once the disk has loaded you will see the word 'Boot' followed by a flashing cursor, Press 'Enter'.
2: At the next flashing cursor press '1' then 'Enter'. Note: Use the '1' key on the standard keyboard and not the number pad.
3: You should have a 'Success message followed by a flashing cursor, Press 'Enter'
4: Press '1' then 'Enter'
5: You will now be at the 'Edit user names and passwords' screen. Press '1' then 'Enter'
6: Type the account name that you wish to edit the password for, followed by pressing 'Enter'. If it is just the Administrator password that you wish to edit then just press 'Enter'
7: Press '1:' and 'Enter' to clear the password.
Repeat for other accounts if you wish but personally I think it better to boot into Windows with your new cleared Administrator account and reset all other passwords in the Windows 'Users' option found in control panel.
8: Type '!' and press 'Enter'
9: Type q' and press 'Enter'
10: Type 'y' and press 'Enter'
11: Type 'n' and press 'Enter'
12: Press 'CTRL ALT DEL' and restart computer. Make sure you have now removed the CD.
And that's it, no more password!



I cannot promise it works, niether do I know whether it is safe. Although I can assure you it is from a reliable source.

Power ISO (http://download.cnet.com/PowerISO/3000-2646_4-10439118.html).

I think you'll have to use it in trial mode, however it doesn't make a difference.

I don't understand what on earth you're doing.

I've found a completely free one - Img Burn (http://www.imgburn.com/).
Download & install that.
Then, follow the steps I already posted.

so you start with downloading that NTI CD/dvd maker 7
then the above link

then you put empty CD/DVD into the PC that still works(a laptop in my case)

but then?
will it automatically get something on it that can remove passwords?

will try it this afternoon probably, will get back if i come across problems

You can try this out, it worked on XP but last time I tried, not on Windows 7. But you can still have a go with it, go to any other account expect yours, and use the Command Prompt to change your password. (if it's possible anymore)

Open your Command Prompt (by looking from the Programs or type CMD to the search)
When the CMD opens, type "net user" (without " ") to it. You'll get a list of users on the PC.
Type "net user Bianconeri" (or whatever is your account name) - you'll get information of your account.
Next, type "net user Bianconeri password" (Type the password you want to use to the "password") - Your password should now be this.
Close the CMD and login to your own account with the password you wrote to the CMD.
Although, if it gives you "Error blabla" on it, you're not able to change the password through this.
