yoyoyo Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Tryusername: administratorpassword: administratorOr does it come up with her name and only the space for password. Only on xp so i don't know what the start up's like for vista.If it works change her password from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Try here...Or here...Hope one of these helps. I only skim-read them, but they seemed to be pointing the chap in a similar direction to where you need to go.James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 You'll have to use some kind of 3rd party software ('Offline NT' perhaps but i don't know if that's vista compatible) to reset the password. Next time tell her to set a password she will remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time tell her to set a password she will remember.It is compatible apparently. I had a go earlier, but think I was meant to select 'write changes' at the end so it didn't work. Took a while to figure out actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
