Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of not
knowing your administrator password. I have screwed up
my PC and now when I flash it up I get the option to log
on as a guest (very limited use) or the administrator. I
don't know the password for the administrator. I do not
have access to have my programs and all bar re-booting
with the recovery CD (thus losing everything) I do not
know what to do.

Can anybody help?
 
Hi

I think your problem is very simple, just fallow this
steps and see what happend:

1:Start 2:Control Panel 3:User Accounts 4:Cump Admin

From there i think you should know what to do. "Im not
sure if this will work if your log in ass a guess thou"
but if this doesnt work try System Restor Point Or backup
OS maybe its something you did for this to happend! !What
did you do anyway! :?


Good Luck.

After recovering, treat your admin accounts like your
car keys: Having just one set is, well, short-sighted.
