administrator password bypass for vista?? Not using a reset disk
Hi all,
Erm, the people in charge of microsoft (and possibly this website too,) arent gonna like me for this, but i dont suppose any one can tell me how to bypass an administrator password on vista? I was left this computer by my dad (he passed away last month)
but i only ever had access to the guest account, and the administrator password went to the grave with him... I only need the password as i am a student & need to download a free trial of microsoft office to complete coursework that is due, but cant do
this either because the security window keeps popping up for him to give his permission to download from the site.... I have already looked for the reset disk, (which wasnt there) and tried afew other questionable methods, all of which can be viewed on
about.com/itsupport at your leisure, but no matter what i do i just cant seem to get in. Kudos to microsoft on that one by the way, it really is a secure wee bugger. And a pain into the bargain... But anyway its vista home premium and if anyone can
help me please please do asap as i have been going out of my damn mind for ages over this and your help will be very much appreciated... thanks

You can do Windows Password Reset as following:
1. Accessing the hidden tool
Access the hidden Advanced User Accounts Control Panel, click “Start” button, type “Control User passwords2″in the Start Search box, and press “Enter”. When you do,
you’ll encounter a UAC dialog box and will need to respond accordingly.
You’ll see the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel.
2. Configuring the automatic log on
To configure the automatic log on, select your user name in the Users For This Computer list, if it isn’t already selected. Then clear the “Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use
This Computer” check box. Click OK. The Users For This Computer list becomes unavailable.
As the last step in configuring the automatic log on, you’ll see the Automatically Log On dialog box, and will need to type your password in both the Password and Confirm Password text boxes.
To complete the operation, click OK.
To test your Automatic log on, simply restart your computer. When you do, Windows Vista should automatically log you on.

1.Vista allows you to create a windows password reset
disk which enables you to reset your password without much hassle. The problem with this option is that you have to create the reset disk before the password is lost. You can find a description of how to create a password reset disk here.
2.Use freeware Ophcrack to reset the Windows password
It is an open-source password cracker. The technology it uses to break Windows passwords is called “rainbow tables” and was described by Philippe Oechslin in Making a Faster Cryptanalytic Time-Memory Trade-Off. A rough way to describe this technique
is to say that tables of possible hashes are precomputed so that you can iteratively compare the windows hashes to precomputed bits and piece together the hash and its value more quickly than brute-force guessing.

You can try to reset admin password in Vista
with command prompt.
1. Press F8 to enter Advanced Boot Options just before the Windows loading screen appears.
2. Choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
3. Log in with an administrator account when you can see the log on screen.
4. Type net user in the command prompt and then hit Enter. All the Windows account user names will be listed for you.
5. Type net user Helen 123 and hit Enter.
‘Helen’ is your locked Windows account user name. And ‘123’ is the new password you want to reset for the account.
If you cannot enter the safe mode, I’m afraid you have to create a password reset disk with a CD or USB drive as follows. Otherwise, reinstallation will be your only choice.
Step 1: Download and install Windows Password Reset Tool
in any computer from its official site
Step 2: Use CD/DVD/USB drive to create a password disk via the program.
Step 3: Boot your locked computer from CD/DVD or USB
Step 4: Reset Vista password
with the burned CD/DVD or USB flash drive.How to Reset Windows User Password ?
