Hello .. I have a admin account on my machine .. but someone changed its password .. now i am wondering if someone tell me how to recover the admin password or disable it .. i dont want to reinstall the new windows ..
i tried to run it in safe mood but unfortunatly its not running in safe mood ..
and i also dont have any other user account .. any one can help me ..
Just follow the instructions and note that it's usually safer and more reliable to delete the admin password rather than to change it. Afterwards, you should of course set a new admin password using the Wiindows "User Accounts" applet in the control panel.
Also note that if you have any files you've asked Windows to encrypt, you'll no longer have access to them without the original password.
