You should be able to re-boot in safe mode and log in as the built-in
administrator. This account generally doesn't have a password and is only
available in safe mode.
From there, you can get to User Accounts and change passwords.
When your restart your computer, press F8 right before you see the Windows
splash screen. This will bring up the Advanced Boot Options menu, from which
you can select Safe Mode.
guyz !! this is what im talking about !! there is no a built-in Administrator account in windows vista !!( it's hidden ) u must activate it from another administrator account !!
anyway , thnx .... i contacted a service providor and he told me that the laptop must be formatted with all the personal files lost !!
what to do ! this is some of silly mistakes ( microsoft forgot to solve it ) !! LOL
You can bet software that will recover them.... some are free some not, but at least many will let you try them and will let you see the files but not recover them until you paid the one-off license.
I accidentally formatted a slave with all my PCB artwork and jpegs, I got them all back thanks to Get My data, this was the first one I tried and I stuck to..... a Google for 'File recovery software' should strike a hit, as said I suppose some are good and some are bad that includes free and paid ones.
There are also password recovery programs, see Sticky section here, there's a whole bunch to try.
Note Everyone: Formatting or deleting items does not wipe data from the disc, It took me three formats before the files wasn't recovered with basic software, to do a proper job takes several hours, with say Kill Disk or similar software because several 'passes' are needed.
thnx guuuyz !! davy ur thoeries is alwyz rigth !! but , how can i install a password recovery software and im logging from a limited account which has no permission of installing by the administrator which i have losted the password for it !!> ????
Ah.... top secret that is, giffus ya money and I will tell
Well, as you are aware there's all kinds of programs so you can expect some working slightly different than others here's an example Recover local machine Password.
This is just to give an insight how they work, you boot from the CD and follow the on-screen instructions, some programs are free and some not.... either way there's good ones and bad ones amongst them, which they are I can't say because I've never used them.
can you give me a URLfor the miniPE cd ,, (for downloading ) with the programz tht were said about in your URL ! ... becuase i have searched for it and got it without the program ( password changer 3.0 .... etc ) .....
