Forgot vista password!!

egon10psi · 07-16-2009, 05:26 PM

My wonderful girlfriend thought it would be funny to change me admin password on my computer and now says she cant remember it!!

I do not have the original disc and all the computer places i called said it would be 120 dollars becuase they would have to reinstall vista completely.There has got to be an easier way!!!

I've personally used Option 2 before and it has worked every single time. If you can figure out how to use it properly (which isn't that hard with the instructions) it WILL work for you on your Vista machine.

Good luck!

What kind of key? Screenshot perhaps? And what are you using to burn the ISO?

try booting in safe mode and just using administrator for UN and no password...unless you have changed the administrator password

egon10psi · 07-16-2009, 06:21 PM

well i downloaded the link and then i unzipped it to my deskop and when i double click it to choose a burner it asks for key....

CleanLemans · 07-16-2009, 06:22 PM

he said he changed the password... as someone said, use ultimatebootcd - it'll get u logged onto any computer, just change the password once your on and boot the normal way.

egon10psi · 07-16-2009, 06:35 PM

im not going to pay 50 dollars for it.... Does anyone have a copy and a key of that or vista....at this point i dont care if i save any data..

What key is it asking for? What program are you using to burn the CD? What program is prompting you for the key? Please be specific. It'll save both you and me time.

Either way, use this program instead to burn your ISO:
