I'll assume Windows XP so if so reboot to get the XP WElcome screen, hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice which will bring up the classic login. Type in administrator and no password. If this works you can now go into Control panel and reset your user password.\n\nIf it doesn't then your going to have to have somebody with a password disk reset it for you.

Ok, so you say you forgot your Windows administrator's password, huh? Oh well, it doesn't really matter if you did or you just say you did. The fact is that you need to gain access to a computer and you cannot "remember" the administrator's password. \n\nHow can you get out of this situation without formatting and re-installing the operating system?\n\n1- try hard to remember the forgotten password\n2- restore a backed up System State (in Windows 2000/XP/2003) or a ERD (in NT 4.0) in which you do remember the password\n3- using 3rd party tools that will enable you to reset the lost password and logon with a blank password\n\nIf you are looking for password cracking tools that can be used for miscellaneous objectives such as password-protected PDF documents, zipped archives, docs and so on then yahoo pages is NOT the place

Go to Start and click 'Log Off', then on the login screen, click 'Ctrl + Alt + Del' twice to access the logon windows, then type the user name as 'Administrator' and the password should be blank, unless you have set one previously.

Ok man, i can help you here. What you do is when your computer starts up press F8 (the buttons above the numbers on your keyboard) Go into safe mode. Then log into your acount (no password needed in safe mode) Then go to control pannel and then go to users acounts. Then you can change it without having to put your previous password in

The only way to get around a forgotten password is to clear it. You can either remove the CMOS battery or reset the jumpers to clear the BIOS settings. Keep in mind that you will have to reset a lot of the settings if they have changed from the default.

When starting your laptop, press F8 repeatedly. A abnormal screen should eventually appear. Select Safe Mode with Networking and press Enter twice. When your computer goes to the log in screen, select Administrator (no password). Then, once you log in, go to Start, then select Run. When the window pops up, type in control userpasswords and select your normal account. Then, click change password, and type in a new password. Finally, restart your computer normally and type in your new password.\n\nHope this Helps!

If you have changed the password you need to do a "factory reset" to restore the factory default password.  Normally, you do a factory reset by holding down the reset button for a long period, such as 10 seconds.\n\nYou can find the factory default password in the manual, which you can download from the manufacturer's web site.  The manual will also tell you how long you have to hold down the reset switch to do a factory reset.\n\nYou can also google (or Yahoo!) 'router lost password'  along with the brand name of your router.

I am assuming you have windows OS. In that case, you can always start your system in rescue mode and reset administrator password. Rescue mode allows you to login in single user mode without needing password. Do google search, you will find wealth of information.
