Just got home from KY, and trying to access the admin account on my pc. The only admin account is mine, since it's my computer, but I forgot the password. I'm on the guest account now so I can't download anything or update antivirus software, etc. Conveniently, every Vista disc in the house has gone missing, so I don't have a way to reinstall right now. If anyone knows how to either hack it so I can change the password, override it, or simply do a full pc wipe so I can start fresh please let me know. Even if it comes to something where I have to crack the damn pc open, I need to get on the account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Bookmarked the site.
Howeverm anyway that I can do a full master clear without being on the admin account? I don't care how it's done I just need to do it.

boot from the cd, there are a number of password utilities on the disc to change/reset/wipe the admin password.
then you can reboot the pc and login

U don't need to D/L anything with that disk.
Just boot and run one of the utilites - they rund from the disk without a install.

I'm back home :) Dustin can potentially help, but he's busy a lot :(
I really just want to wipe it today. If there's anyway I can do it today that'd be best. There's gotta be a way, I just don't know how to do it.
