Need computer pro/hacker/ whatever
 
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

Problem is, unless i'm on the admin account I can't download anything.

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.

How do I get it? The site I was on didn't offer anything except the info.

Ferox13 07-17-2009 01:31 PM

Its 200 megs so if u can't find it i can try send it via yousendit or some thing.

Can't download without admin password. See how annoying it is?

Ferox13 07-17-2009 01:54 PM

ah ok

Forget it then..

No other PCs in the house? Don't u live with Rayne?

Posher778 07-17-2009 02:09 PM

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.

Ferox13 07-17-2009 02:16 PM

Without a copy of an OS i can't see how u can.

Posher778 07-18-2009 04:59 AM

My parents PC is back up now, so I do have access to it.
