Administrator ) how can I enter into my pc ( whether its on or off or when I
do a restart and it asks for a password )? Also how can I find out what my
existing password is. Thank you.

As well as reading the contents of the link that Carey provided in his post,
you might also consider creating a password reset disk. Go to control panel
and click on the user account icon. look in the 'tasks' section on the left
of the user account window and click the 'create a password reset disk'
option. You will need a formatted floppy disk to create the reset disk.

So how do you create one if you don't have a diskette drive anymore?

Thanks.

Good point. Some of the today's pcs come without a floppy drive. Can USB flash drive work ? I have not tried.

Would writing the contents of the floppy onto the cd work ? Can Vista boot or recognise the contents on Password Reset from a cd ? Someone may have an answer.

Strangely it is something a lot of people actually miss, but it certainly
saves a hell of a lot of trouble if you forget your password.
