    Forgotten administrator password


    Just found the password.
    Nothing like writing it down in an obvious place.

    User Account Password - Change from WinRE

    In step 7 do:
    Code:
     
net  user  your_user_name   new_password
    or do you mean th built-in administartor account? If so:
    Code:
     
net  user  administrator   new_password
    Step 8 is just for testing if it works. So try to logon.

    Step 9 to 13 can be skipped.
