I hope you guys have an answer for me. I changed my log in password. I did so when I was very tired. I cannot remember the password. It is my personal computer at home. I have too much on it to re-format the hard drive. My daughter has a log on but it is limited. Does anyone know of a program to buy which will get me logged on with out destroying my data? Or procedures that I can use to achieve the same. I remember some of the password but not all.
HOPIN!! Bob

Search the net for Hirens Boot CD.

It has some very cool recovery programs.

One of which is a cool password reseter that I have used myself with great sucess.

Once the machine has booted with the Hirens Boot CD chose the category for password recovery, the menu wording may vary depending on the version of the Hirens Boot CD but the program that I have used is the first one in the list for password recovery.

Even though Hiren's Boot CD contains free software and abandonware, which are still copyrighted, from the DOS era, it should be noted that there are also a significant number of unlicensed proprietary software on Hiren's Boot CD; therefore, Hiren's Boot CD is considered [b]warez.[/b] This makes the entire disc illegal in most jurisdictions. Hiren no longer offers a download link to the disc image.
