k so me and my 2 friends setup a comp for one of those friends. we'll call him Jay. the other will be Nerdy
so we set him up with vista ultimate ( i know 7 is better this was free ) and he set his own password and everything.
he reboots his comp for the first time since and puts in his user password and it doesn't work, i thought maybe he used the wrong one but Nerdy knew it too.
somehow the password got changed with the only person being Jay using it, and me to log his lazy ass into steam.
there's no guest account but I'm wondering, does anyone know ANY method to get that password or force it to log into his account or guest account?
The answer to the mistery is simple:
Windows Vista.
Maybe you mistyped something at some point.
Use this: [url]http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net[/url] to retrieve the password, or this: [url]http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd[/url] to change or remove it.

Certainly not the wrong password. I was watching when he made the password and he explained his logic behind choosing that password and the password hint.

Told him to setup a second admin account and let me choose the password for it. Maybe this time he'll listen. Whatever the hell this issue was would've been completely avoidable that way.

thanks i'm sure the second one will work perfectly. and yeah i'll just say it onyx is nerdy. >_>
Cap lock? lol
That was the first thing I checked. I even hit capslock and entered the password then hit it again and entered it just to make sure he somehow didn't muff that up in the first place.
Did you try going into safe mode and logging into the hidden Admin account?
