| 645400 | 2008-03-01 21:48:00 | Hi friends asked me if I could reset the password on their laptop Dell Inspiron running Vista home Basic. I booted into Offline NT password & reg-editor and found the list of users I was able to unlock the administrator account and delete the password. But is it possible to log into the administrator account as there is another user also as admin and I need to delete this password too. NT will not allow this in Vista it will only allow the default admin account to be changed. As this is a public forum and you might not want to make this type of info available to the general public can you PM me if you can help. Thanks |
