How can I retrieve the password

History

hello,

i was given a hp g60-230us laptop running vista home premium because my friend forgot the password and couldent find a utility that would work

i would like to keep the laptops programs and such intact because i was told he has all sorts of useful goodies like games on it and i WILL NOT REMOVE CRAPWARE AGAIN!(i did it for him)

is there any fix to retrieve the password and retrieve it or reset it?

after i get it going it may have 7 on it

i forgot to mention he also mentioned he even managed to get one of the battery knotches stuck and wont come out

i wanna get this fixed!

try this trick:

Login with the default administrator account

Step 1: Start Windows PC

Step 2: When you can see the Windows login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it'll show Classic Login box

Step 3: Type Administrator as Username and leave the Password field blank

Step 4: Press the Enter Key and then you can be able to login the default windows administrator account which is it created by default when install windows.

Note: When you input the key combination Please don't put the cursor on any account. And if you change the name or password before, you cannot login by this way. so only windows password recovery utility can help you,check this out:

OK, Assuming u have the windows vista disc, boot from it select ur language and when it says "Install Now" look at the bottom left corner of the window and click "repair your computer" select ur OS then click "command prompt" a black window should come up. in the windows type:

net user yourusername *

It will say: Enter a new password for this user:

Type ur new password, reboot and ur done!

I ope my info was useful!

I has a recovery partition

Download the DigiWiz Mini PE boot disk. Boot to cd. Use the SAM inside program to remove the password.

The best answer is chntpw, but it's an advanced tool. You might want to try this, though: http://www.pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
