| | Last year, my whole family used one computer, and I could never install anything because my account was limited, and my parents were scared I would download a virus. One day I decided to try and find a way to make myself able to install stuff, and I found out, but because of my parents carelessness. It doesn't work if the Administrator, the one that doesn't show up on logon has a password.
Here's how to do it:
Restart your computer, and when it first starts press f8, it's f5 on some computers, and then select run Windows in safe mode with networking, and then Windows should load, and a new user will shows up, "Administrator". Click it, and if it logs you on, go to Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Your user name>Change account type>
Now select Computer administrator click ok, and restart your computer.
If it asks for a password, then you can't do it. |

But if the admistrator account has a password on it you will need to reset the file that stores the passwords in the computer. This can be easily done if you have a ntfs reader,a bootable disk, and access to the BIOS.

Hey Guys, There's one sure fire way to do it. Crack open the case... remove the CMOS battery...wait 5-10min...then re-install the battery. This totally clears ALL password settings stored in CMOS (including Admin). Better have a backup of the BIOS on a floppy boot disk so you can "re-flash" the BIOS program for insurance. Also be prepared with all the info you need to do the re-flash BEFORE you attempt this. If something goes wrong, then you have a $1000+ paperweight (ie. totally dead computer) on your desk if you don't have the BIOS program on a boot disk. After the computer re-boots, then just do the boot to the BIOS startup screen & restore the any settings to the pre-flash status if needed. Then, just set up the new (& old) "Admin" accounts you want. Of course, trying this on someones computer where you don't have legitimate access is a crime- so don't do it there! Hope this Helps RGPHNX

This is wierd! I don't really understand how you can log on into administrator in safe mode. I guess I never booted up my computer in safe mode before... Anyways, I'm admin on my own computer so it's all good!

The only reason that you can log on in Windows in Safe mode as Administrator is that Safe Mode is scrtictly for debugging the computer. Otherwise you woudln't be able to log on as Adminsitrator. Anyways, in SafeMode, I don't think you can change any passwords, wouldn't that createsome sort of giant security hole in Windows? I haven't tried it, but seroiusly doubt it works.

ummm,there is another way to sovle the problem that you can use net command of Windows.generally speaking,first your comp is in safe mode ,then log in as a Administrator.you should type net user Administrator /active:y enter and type net user Administrator password enter in the Run of Windows.during what i said above,there is a Administrator and password,which you can change them to what you want change.er,i ofen use this way to help my classmate who didnot go in to his comp.have a try...

I suspect new laptops use flash memory because in the manual it says that if you forget the BIOS password there is no way you can reset it yourself and you will need to send your laptop back to the manufacturer.

yea or if you have a computer at a friends house who is admin you can download a program called ophcrack LIVECD and burn it to a cd using nero or other cd burning software. go into bios and boot from cd and it will find the admin, and other user accounts passwords. restart the computer and login as the admin. i actually did this at school and now i am the admin on the computer and all the computers in the school because the admin password is the same on all the computers!!!!!!!!!
