I forgot my password for windows logon

[ikillyou61]

Is there another way to logon?

I only have 1 user on my computer and thats me!!!

Somebody told me through the registry but I can't get to the registry and If I can I don't know how to!!!

ive heard of a program you can put on a cd, then you go into bios and boot from cd drive and then it boots normal but bypasses the logon screen.

Is the administrator account password protected?

 

[ikillyou61]

yeah of course the Administrators password protected!!!

 

[Bruce]

You forgot that one as well?

What do you mean by administrators password cause I only Have 1 user name and no administrator when I log off or when the welcome screen comes up it just says 007 cause thats the name I use

reboot to safe mode (press F8 just before it loads Windows on boot)
the real administrator account will be available then.

you can then browse to your documents and settings (C:\Documents and settings\username), copy them somewhere else, delete the old account, create another user name, and put your documents and settings in your new account.

Or just start up normally then do CTRL+ALT+DEL and a different log on screen will appear (only when no user is logged on)

then type in administrator for user
try *blank*, admin, administrator for passwords

much easier than safe mode

doesn't work on the XP logon

works for me all the time, just make sure that no one is logged on
