Reall what corperation and what OS.  there are programs that you can change the password for the admin in 2k but won't work for xp and vise versa.

aight.... I'm going to assume that you are running Windows XP on this.  If you are at the log-on screen, press Alt+Ctrl+Del at the same time and it will bring up a different log-on screen.  Chances are that nobody has set an administrator password on your computer because nobody ever does when they get an OEM computer.  \n\nFrom this log-on screen type the word "administrator" (no " ") as your log-on name and leave your password blank.  Click "ok" and you should be in as the administrator.  \n\nNext, go to control panel and go under user accounts.  You have the ability to remove the password for any account as the computer administrator.  Then just log out of this account, log back into yours (now passwor free) and set up a new one that you will remember.

I'll try to help you to my best existent.  When your computer starts up press F8 (its above your number keys) Go into safe mode, you don't need a password to get into a administrators account when your in safe mode. Then change your password however you do it in windows 2000, then write it down and restart. Then type it in then your in!\n\nHoped i helped

If the machine has a default installation of Windows XP Home edition, there is probably no Administrator password set.\n\nThe Administrator account does not show up on the logon screen but it's easy to access it.\n\nPress CTRL+ALT+DEL twice.  You will see the standard Windows logon prompt.  Type Administrator for the account and leave the password blank.  Press Enter.  If no password was set, you will be logged in with full rights.\n\nOnce you're logged in, you can change the password for the other account in Control Panel.  While you're there, set a password for the Administrator account.\n\nIf there's an Administrator password set, you can go here for a cracking utility that works pretty well on most systems:\n\nhttp://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/\n\nAlso, most computer shops should have a copy of ERD Commander and should crack the Admin password for $50.00 or so.  It just takes about 5 minutes.  This will not break security like the above link will, though that isn't an issue with XP Home.

Delete everything permanently from your computer, reinstall XP.\n(don't put a password again)

If you don't have admin rights from the get go, you will not be able to asign yourself rights. You could try to load in safe mode but that would require some registry editing. I would suggest getting the tech to load for you. TX

dun believe that XP administrator's password can be broken that easily. If u forgot your admin password, u can log in as user and check if the user account has admin right, if u have u can change the admin passord - otherwise u may have to reinstall XP all over again if u r not able to access the system as u dun have a password.\n\nThe only way to obtain the XP admin password is to a floppy with system to boot up or dismantle the hard drive,connect it to another pc, and extract the user or admin registry file - administrator.dat and the system key file and using very good password cracking software to break and obtain the password which is also not easily done if the password is a strong password.\n\nU can engage computer forensic people to do it but it is expensive....

Okay, I'm assuming that you are running Windows XP. Go to start -> Run -> Type in msconfig and hit okay-> then go to the boot.ini tab and hit the selection that says boot in safe mode. exit out and it will ask you to restart. on the reboot it will let u log on to a no password administrator account labeled Administrator, log onto it and got to Start -> Control panel -> Users/accounts or watever it is -> Select your account and hit delete and when it asks to back up your documents on someone elses user do it onto the Administrator account that you are on and then go to Create Account -> and Create an administrator account by the same name of the previously limited one. then copy your files over to your new administrator account. then go to Start -> Run and type in msconfigg and hit okay and do not go to any othe tabs, just the one it is already on and select Normal Start-up and then exit out and it will ask you to restart, say yes and let it boot up, then enjoy your new Administrator account

Try the offline Windows NT Password Editor.  Or alternatively try booting into safe mode and typing in administrator at the login prompt.  A lot of the time that USER ID has no password but can usually only be accessed by booting into safe mode

You havnt got administrator rights.\n\nTry doing system restore to earlier date to save time.

Unless you reset it to something only you would know try using  admin as both the username and password.

It sounds like your system is on a network and the admin has enabled a Group Policy Object that restricts you from shutting down your machine or rebooting it.  (Pretty dumb if you ask me, but the option is there and I've seen admins do it.)\n\nAre you also saying that you can't close ANY windows as well?\n\nTry logging off and logging back on with Administrator rights.  If you don't have the admin account password, you'll need to get with your system admin to resolve this issue.

-Assumption made, you are using Windows XP\nIf this is a work PC, ask your administrator for help.  If this is a home PC, reboot the computer and start in save mode. (Press F8 during the boot process.)\nWhat you can do from here depends on how the computer was setup.  Sometimes the actual administrator account doesn't have a password.  I can create and account called "admin" during setup but there may actually be an Administrator account that goes unseen by most users.\nYou can log easily if the password has never been set here.  If the actual administrator account is password protected here, then you are back to square one.   There is software you can purchase to help with the situation but I have never tried them and couldn't recommend one.
