I seem to have gained the ability to solve all computer problems according to my friends (how I don't know :rotfl: )
So this evenings question is how do you bypass the user account password (administrator account) if there are no other administrator accounts set?

go into your user account and delete the password.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.

A friend of mine has 2 pcs, one that her boy uses. He remember his password but forgot how he typed/spelt it and now can't log on. His is the only account on the pc, he put a password on to stop his sister using it.Thats all no strange motives.Aiadi wrote:The questioner I assumed didn't have the password to the account which is why I was questioning the motive behind this...0 -
this should work for you.
start the pc up. keep pressing F8 untill you get the option for safe mode. If you cannot get the olny other way i know is to turn it off while the win xp loading screen is on and back on again. Once you boot up in safe mode you should be presented with a administrator account and the boys account. You would be alble to just click and log into the admin account and then change the pw from thereThings that are free in life are great, well most of the time :beer:0
