maybe you remember another user's password to the computer, such as the local administrator (if not, write in the username "administrator" and leave the password blank, maybe it will work).

Another option I don't remember exactly, but the direction is through the linux cd, or a different option is through a windows version which is coming from CD without installing windows...

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..

1)Restart your computer. Before windows pops up, repetitively tap F8. Click on Safe mode. Go to the account labeled Administrator. The do whatever you want with your computer. It should work. If the Administrator Account has a password, then create a password reset disk on a flash drive which you can easily obtain.
2)Use windows password tool
