The members of TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover a password. However, we cannot verify your motives and will therefore not assist anyone in what may be an attempt at gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. Due to the open nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that we the members of TechRepublic will not take. Please do not ask questions of this nature on TechRepublic.
If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery issues should be taken up with Microsoft's technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, etc.. To those viewing this post: Please DO NOT respond any further to this thread.

[b]Contact either the System Maker or M$ and get them to solve this one. I would however be betting that their answer is to reload the OS and start from scratch.[/b]

the less likely the user will make an effort to avoid the problem in the future.
As remembering something like a password has NOTHING to do with computer skills, but in stead, simple intelligence, it is in their best interest to pay attention to what they are doing in the future.
The fix, format and reload. After they get their bill, they will remember to remember.

if so, have the helpdesk reset it.
If not, then the you can follow JD's instructions to rebuild. Or, you can log in as the administrator and change it.
The only other option is not good, You will need to go to the roof of a building (at least 6 stories). The atmospheric pressure should suffice at 6 stories, however taller is better.
Tie the computer around your waist, as you dont want to lose it. You will want 9 feet of slack (between you and the computer)Add a 100 pound weight to the computer side. Tie it on well.
Look over the edge of the building until you find the side with the alleyway. If not, find the 'less used' side (where you do not see people walking, or driving).
Throw the computer off of the roof with as much force as possible. Lean over the side just a bit to watch ( you will not want to miss it). I'll not tell you of the spectacular show you are about to see.
Ok, this 'scares' the computer and e-gremlins inside the case. Then the password is reset

Go to Singapore, wait for an uprising, grab a seat on a ropey DC-3 (Douglas Dakota), fly off into the Himalayas, notice that the pilot has been replaced by an odd looking bloke with slanty eyes who then parachutes out of the cockpit emergency door, leaving the DC-3 pilotless and heading for a narrow, snow-covered ravine.
Crash landing and surviving, you are then greeted by other odd-looking blokes who take you high into the Himalayas and you trudge through the snow and wind for what seems like weeks, before you reach a narrow opening in the side of a mountain. As you pass through this narrow opening you enter SHANGRI LA!
There a little bloke in there, that's hundreds of years old, and HE knows everything (including your Lost Horizon password)!!

I was chatting to a blind chap in the pub the other day and he mentioned that one of his favourite pastimes was sky-diving.
This intrigued me so I asked him how he knew when to open his parachute and he replied that he had a bleeper that alerted him at the correct altitude.
"Ha!", I said, "but how do you know when to bend your knees for landing". "Easy", he replied, "I just wait for the guide-dog's lead to go slack".

a HAL twin? Maybe the HAL 6000???
Ok, in any event, I am going to try your advice. I'll let you know if I learn the secrets to everything. Being an immortal and joining GodHood did not make me know everything :( so I will seek out this one and learn the tricks of the trade :)

After all the answer to everything is 42.
How hard is that to remember?
