So my mom got a new laptop, well its not really (new), but its new to me.
The only problem is that it is used, and well there is a password =.=, how do I get passed the password >:O!
Its probibly the best laptop in our house, except the whole password part.... Its a Compaq, Windows Vista, Wide Screen, ect. I like Vista idk what people are talkin about because Vista seems way better then XP, well to me.
So ya, the owner password is a pain in the ass, so ya, any easy way to get threw?

if it still works you could try the ctrl+alt+del to get the the alternative login and try logging in as admin.
if not then idk. im a xp person not vista
-
reinstall vista?

reinstall vista?
huh.. wah.. the comp came with vista... the comp just wont let me do anything cuz o the password >:|
EDIT: We restored latop to factory condition. I dont care mainly because I got it for free and had no precious files, w00t :P

Download (on a separate) PC, a program called "OphCrack" from Sourceforge. Download the Vista Live CD build.
Burn that to a disk using an image burning program (I recommend ImageBurn) and then BOOT into that disk on the laptop you're having trouble with.
It should crack the password within a few minutes. O:)

your really enjoying that arent you

Well. Easiest way because MS patched the bug that lets you just delete the SAM file and logon without a user...
This way he gets the pass and can change everything around and reset the password without reinstalling.

there are other programs you can dl and burn as an iso to a disk that will reset the pw automaticaly. i have one on a disc already made, i dnt remember what its called though
