    I have two users in my Laptop, I had activated the hidden administrator account and have two users, I had password protected my administrator account with a measly password but forgot it the next day,I now can use only the user account which has no privileges, so ,to reset my password i tried to install windows password recovery but i cant open it because the user is under user account control and so i cant even open the file without entering the password ..... Please help
