P@c_M@n Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Does anyone know any tools that can reset the password on an account? My friends mother apparently forgot the password to the admin account on her computer and now they're in a bit of a fix. I heard of something called ERD commander that can do everything i need, but i havent been able to find it very easily. They run windows vista (not sure if its 32 or 64 bit). If this doesnt work, my only alternative is to back up all the files on their primary account, make a new account, restore the files on the new account, and delete the old one. I would rather not resort to something this extreme, so can anyone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allenmac Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think the best way to reset Windows password is to use the Windows password reset disk, you won’t lose any data in this way. So I do suggest you to burn a Windows password reset disk if you http://resetwindowspassword.net'>lost windows password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
