Does anyone know how to bypass the password window that is shown as soonas you turn on a laptop with Windows Vista? I forgot the password,and have been searching for a way to gain access so that I can change the password to one that I will remember.

I would really like to be able to do this without having to download any special program. Any ideas?

Yeah, I'd like to know this as well.

From my limited research, it appears that there's no alternative to re-loading Windows.

Unless someone has an alternative...???

It's easy to do. Just try googling instead of posting on a prince site though. You will need to download something to boot from USB or cd or floppy. It's easiest doing it with another Internet connected device beside you or printed instructions if you don't know what you are doing

I googled the heck out of it and didn't find this option.

Any links????

Seriously - I spent about an HOUR googling "how to get into windows without password" and everything I got told me I needed the disks to reinstall windows.

One article even made me feel stupid for asking. "The whole point of a password is to prevent an unauthorized logon." (Or something like that)

But when I just googled "Windows reset admin password" it came up with some promising suggestions.

in one hour on google i could tell you evertything in the world

except what goes on in a womans head

No, it's a friend's old thinkpad.

They wiped it clean for me to give to junior.

When I asked for the password, they said "WHAT password?" As far as they're concerned, they never had a password. They gave me some suggestions as to what it COULD be, but they all came up negative.

usually the password is password

Sorry, I joined this thread late. I agree with unique on all points, so I'm guessing everything is already covered.

I would like to, however, point out how embarassed I am for purplejedi.
