Hi, my son has a Dell Latitude D520 with XP operating system. He got a new computer and has forgotten the password to the Dell laptop. I want to have the Dell connected to the cable modem to get on the internet, and have the other computers in the house be wireless, but I can only get on thru the guest function on his computer and it won't get on the internet. I can't make any changes without administrator privileges. Help! Is there any way to reset the password?
Thanks,
Karen
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
See the following Microsoft article:How to log on to your Windows XP-based computer if you forget your password or if your password expires

Can anyone help me? I have searched for three days for a fix and I'm about to throw this dagg gum computer out the window. I miss Micisoft Windows NT!!!! But someome told me Vista was alot better.
I had just changed my password, and I am also listed as the admin and STUPID me forgotten my new (admin) password. My first mistake was I didn't create a separate user for myself. But I cant look back now. My floppy drive is broken so any back up disk is not possible.
What can I do to either retrieve my password or change it. Please help!!
Here is a tutorial to reset your password.
Reset User Account Password
Forgot my admin password. Here is the setup. I have Vista installed on C drive and I have windows 7 on X drive(partition). I can access windows 7 and in 'my computer' I can click and open C drive and go through all files on C drive(vista files). But I can't log into it and can't remember the password. So basically how can I recover the password or gain entry into vista?
I realize this is more a vista question than windows 7 and I posted similar post on vista forums but thought I would try here as well. Thanks
You could try editting your Vista's registry using your Windows 7 setup in order to display the true admin account. Then use the true admin account to reset your main profile's password.

Hello
I have an Admin password, but I have forgotten it and I can't run any set ups for new programs to fix the problem. Also, I can't move any files to a USB flashdrive or move anything to a black CD. The only thing I do have is a standard user with some restrictions. I don't know what I could do, anyone have any solutions?

Run it to create a boot floppy then follow the instructions. If you choose to do this then you are doing this at your own risk. Just change the admin pw and login then change the account pw's that you desire.
Make sure you have a floppy disk in the floppy drive and let the program create the boot floppy. Now restart the machine a let it boot from the floppy. Now follow what it instructs you to do.
Use it like a bootdisk.

Hi dfs98,
HACKING IS ILLEGAL AND WRONG! IF THIS IS NOT YOUR COMPUTER, DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS! If this is your Windows password (when you try to log onto your account) rather than your BIOS password, go to: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ and click ?Bootdisk? at the top. Scroll down to about half-way to the download page. Download the latest CD release and extract the zip file.
Install the HP tool included with this post, start it, and select a blank memory stick. Make sure ALL data is backed up, as the memory stick will be wiped. Select FAT and type a Voulume name if you wish. Check create a DOS start up disk, and select the downloaded CD image.
Once you have made your memory stick, boot into it (you may have to change your BIOS settings) and then follow the instructions in the walkthrough provided by the site. I have included a copy of this walkthrough as a Word document. I have also listed a summary of which buttons to press. Follow these instructions exactly. This will work from NT to Windows 7, and so many options do not apply to Vista, and you will do much damage in running them.
Here is the summary (and included at the bottom of the document) :
? Enter

Hi. My friend would like to use some help on her laptop. I already suggested that she should register here and ask directly but she was too busy at the moment. She bought an Acer Aspire laptop with the same specs as mine although it was from a 2nd hand store. It was a laptop with Windows 8 OS, iE7 processor, 4GB DDR3 L Memory, 500 GB HDD. She doesn't have any CDs with her when she bought it because she bought it in a rush. The store only sells laptop but with no installation CDs with them because it had a pre-installed OS. Back to her laptop, she's pretty annoyed for 2 weeks now because she can only access a local account in it. There was an admin account in it, though. I've tried doing things like installing bootable programs on USB that removes admin passwords but the laptop says it doesn't even have a boot option for it. I also manually enabled the boot-thingy on the BIOS. How can we get or remove the admin password?
I am sorry to hear that.
You can reset password with a password reset disk, which is a recommended way. If you have no disk, you can reset password by another workable admin account, just login as the workable admin account, go to User Account and change the locked account password. You can use a Windows password recovery tool if these two ways can't work for you, please choose a reliable one if you want.

We were trying to create seperate accounts with the parental controls on bellsouth.net. Couldn't even do that without getting Tech support online. Anyhow, we Created a seperate Sign in account when you log on and it was set up with no restrictions, and we are not having any problems at all. We just simply forgot the Administrative password. Actually it was me that did it. My wife was at work, otherwise she would of made me write it down! Anyhow, I had read somewhere that it can be done, and not being that knowledgeable with computers have not a clue how to do so. Thanks.

You forgot your account password or the account named administrator. If you have an account with administrative privileges you can just reset the administrator's password with that account.
You have to take the system disabled code you got from the PC and enter it in the box at the link below so it generates a unique passcode for your specific PC. There would be a one in 10,000 chance that any of the unlock passcodes you see would work on your PC. https://bios-pw.org/

Deleted admin account in Win 8.1 update. How to restore?
Hi all
i am currently using my laptop at the moment as i cant get into my main computer. I was trying to set it up so that when i start up it goes all the way to the desktop without putting in a password in the log in screen. I went into user accounts and noticed that there was 2 accounts usually there is one. One was called mcmullan which is the one i use and another called administrator dont know about this one. I was able to delete the mcmullan account (big mistake) but unable to delete the other one, so i thought it would be ok. I rebooted and it came to the log in screen with - user name- administrator i now need a password to get in, i have tried all the passwords i would use including leaving it blank but no luck, is there anyway to get past this, also i noticed that safe mode wont work it gets to mup.sys and then the pc will reboot back to normal start up and end back at the login screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
