My sister-in-law who lives in Australia finally decided to use a PC to keep
in touch over the internet. She bought a Laptop using Vista and set it up
with one user account around 2 months ago. She is not computer literate and
barely knows how to switch it on. It has taken her up till now to switch it
on for the second time as she just got broadband installed at her home. The
problem we now have is that she has forgotten the password she created and
cannot logon to the system. I am not familiar with Windows Vista and was
unable to advise her how to logon using the default Administrator account. It
seems Vista is much different from XP in this respect. Can anyone advise me
if I can access the default admin account on the logon screen or if there is
another way to reset the password without talking her through a system
restore. She didn't create password reset disks. I appreciate your help on
this.
Thanks
