| 874455 | 2010-04-08 16:21:00 | A friend who has a person who got into her puter and has set up another ADMIN acc't and it is non-accessible and appears to be non-removable too. Any way to remove that account? |

| 874459 | 2010-04-09 00:16:00 | You can use Ultimate Boot CD, it has password reset tools built in however I have had limited success. | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 874460 | 2010-04-09 00:25:00 | boot in DOS type net user then type net user* and the name of the admins account (the first net user will show you this) it will prompt for a password use the the changed password to get in and go from there |

| 874463 | 2010-04-09 10:23:00 | I think this is the same software as I have on CD and use to recover from situations occasionally. I have never had a problem with it other than it works better to just remove the password rather than trying to reset it (doesn't always work). | johnd (85) | ||

I've used it on Vista, no probs at all. Just remember to save / write / quit after you do it. I forgot twice and wondered why it didnt work lol |
