Hello,

I believe you can help me. I've lost password for my windows account, it had admin rights so I can't bypass login now. Is it possible to reset or recover lost password?

Try this:
<I never tried on admin accounts though!>
> Reboot and go into safe mode [by pressing f8 right before windows starts booting.]
> Open the default administrators account and go to control panel> user accounts> [your user]> reset password.

>it would be wise to make a password reset disk from control panel> user accounts> [your user]> prepare for forgotten password [on the navigation bar]
