I forgot the password to my computer.

Yeeeeaaaaaah... I forgot the password to get into my account on my computer. :lol: :facepalm: :cry:

I've tried using ophcrack, and one other cracker that I don't remember the name of. They both showed that I have no password for my account. :confused: Maybe I did something wrong?

What would you guys recommend? :smileysad:

Pull the CMOS battery for about ten minutes. Put it back in and boot up.

A year ago it actually backfired. The guy at the outboard motor repair shop where I bring it says this is common with an old Johnson.)

Get a small sterile syringe and drop exactly two drops of saline solution into one of the RAM slots.

Re: I forgot the password to my computer.

wat That's the other program I used and forgot the name of. I also just tried using PC Login Now. PC Login Now and that Offline NT program both said that they reset/cleared my password. That means I should be able to log in without typing anything into the password blank, right? Or am I doing it wrong? Ophcrack simply said that my account has no password.. sh

Re: I forgot the password to my computer.

Do any of you know a specific forumite or multiple specific forumites that could help me out, so I could PM them?

Re: I forgot the password to my computer.

I did the same thing once. Turns out I didn't actually have a password.

Re: I forgot the password to my computer.

Try just hitting enter when the enter password screen comes up. Leave it blank. I used to have my Mac set like that, no one could ever guess the password.

Re: I forgot the password to my computer.

boot into safe mode, select administrator account instead of your normal account, as it probably doesn't have a password. then go to control panel, user accounts, click yours and remove the password. if your administrator account has a password then just use one of the linux boot cd tools and make your password blank. if i remember correctly, after you blank the password, it asks you if you want to confirm, by saying "write" or something. ive sometimes forgotten this step and reset the copmuter without saving the changes and wondered why the password was still there..... haha.

Re: I forgot the password to my computer.

easy answer: Download Hiren's Boot CD. Burn it. Put it in your CD Drive and turn on your PC, make sure CD Drive is first boot option. Go to password utilities > Active Password changer. It will remove all windows passwords without touching the account if you want. /thread.

How do I select accounts? It just boots up in my normal account.

What linux boot CD tools are you talking about?

Just tried this.. there was no "Password Utilities" option, only the Offline NT Password Changer.
