If you take it to get repaired and you don't know password it doesn't matter because they can get in and will be able to help you.

DP is in IT and I did this a couple of years ago and he magically fixed it. Not sure how. ]]> Sun, 05 Dec 2010 18:42:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1214031&title=password#1214031 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1213970&title=password#1213970 Author: jazzy

yes that is correct & will work

The Hirens is the most popular & there are others out there...but you do need something like that...or you are stuffed]]> Sun, 05 Dec 2010 15:10:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1213970&title=password#1213970 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1213934&title=password#1213934 Author: kellie

My IT guys says you are stuffed...if you have set it up probably then you will not be able to get into it via Admin.

Restart your computer and hit F8 on start up. Continue hitting F8 until it loads up different than normal. Select 'Start in safe mode', you'll get choice of log in of You Username or Admin. Admin is not password protected. Note: once logged in as admin use Control Panel and User Accounts to make another account (or I think you may be able to change password of your first account). Done. Restart and log in as per normal.

That's from my DH :) If you have any issues reply back with what platform you are using (Microsoft XP, Vista etc) and we can go from there.

There are programs you can use to change your password.
You would need to download it though and burn it to a disk using another computer if you can't access yours.

I can't remember the name of the one I use as it is at home and I am at work. I can have a look when I get home though.]]> Sun, 05 Dec 2010 09:32:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1213862&title=password#1213862 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1213857&title=password#1213857 Author: Bizzy

your hint must be hard... what was it you were into 2 years ago that might have prompted your password?]]> Sun, 05 Dec 2010 09:14:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1213857&title=password#1213857 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36978&PID=1213847&title=password#1213847 Author: isabel
