QUOTE(loca_mami13 @ Oct 26 2006, 09:27 AM)  Thank you guys for trying ot help but the laptop does not have any disk drives att all no floppy or cd, IT also does not have any connection to the internet so i can not download a file, and the usb ports need to have drivers installed which i can not do on a guest account is there any other ways with out needing soft wear, i do not need ro know the old password, it woul be great if i could atleast creat a new account with admin privlegeges. Whoa, so you have a laptop that has: *no disk drive *no floppy drive *no means of internet *no USB ? Can't you get to someone's house, and connect a LAN cable, does it have at least a built-in modem? I won't be of much use relinking the pages that were given above, but that would help. How did you work on this machine at all? |

type in it see:>net localgroup administrators "The name of the user you want to add" "The password you want that account to have" /add and it will create an account -xboxrulez |

As someone already asked... Do you have the capability of BOOTING FROM USB? The laptop won't need any extra drivers. If it is possible, it will be in your BIOS. Check it out.
If you CAN boot usb, there are several linux distributions that will boot up your laptop, give you access to all your files, and impress you with their speed and power, all from usb. Puppy Linux is my favorite for your situation. Their website has detailed instructions for getting up and running. You need an 'other' computer which has a CD burner and is connected to the internet. And both your laptop and the other computer should be able to boot from usb. You will also need a usb drive of some kind, like a flash drive, at least 128MB. Download Puppy from the website. It will be under 100 MB. Burn the ISO as an image to your CD-R. Boot the other computer from the CD-R. Use Puppy's Universal Installer to install Puppy to the usb drive while running on the other computer. Then, use the usb drive to boot up your laptop with Puppy. The world is yours! If you need any help getting started, Google is your friend. You may find that you like Puppy so much, you won't want Windows back. Don't worry, that's a known side effect of Puppy, and linux in general. Just remain calm, try a few of the programs already available from the main menu, and think of all the money you'll save by not having to buy all that functionality. You'll feel better in no time! As someone said before, "You don't need Windows if you have no walls!" Try linux for awhile and you'll catch the meaning of that soon enough. It's a very good thing. -David |

Hey loca_mami31, everyone here is offering great advice. I've looked into some. I have ran into some computer which are that screwed up before. Most of them I had to do reinstalls some clients payed a good amout of $$$ for me to backup their data to DVD's first. I guess it depends on your situation - do you really need your existing data or would it be okay to start from scratch? I usually have to reset password if I forget to ask or if Windows locked the computer due to exceeding the maximum number of incorrect guests, or they simply don't know of remember. For this, I personally use the http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ which has help me out numerous times. I am not sure what is the latest version, but in order to use it you have to read the instructions or the FAQ on the website. You can download the the file, unzip, and burn the .ISO file to a black CDR or create a bootable usb. Then, unlock/reset the administartor account, then set the password to blank. Save to the registry when you exit. Reboot. Hopefully this gets you in.  If it doesn't you may have to turn on your computer and shutdown your computer without logging on. You have to do this twice so windows will properly shutdown and close all system/registry files. I helps if you leave your computer off for 30 seconds and when you come to the logon screen wait like 2 minutes or till the hard drive activity slows down. In the program if somehow you still can't salvage the administrator account - it happened to one client of mine on XP Home (i even tried using system policies, etc. with no success) - you may have to upgrade you other account to administrative priviages. This will work most of the time too Good luck on your fixing it. If you this works for you, then give yourself a pat on the back cause you deserve a beer. Levimage |

how abt this
Help: XP Pro Admin Account Deleted! Only Guest Access Ok your computer has got the least of privileges, but to you it means a lot. How about giving this a shot, Start your computer and hold on to F8 Get into safe mode Command prompt Type "control userpasswords2" without the asterix You can see the admin accounts on your computer, with a guest etc. You will have options there, to reset your password, or even create a new acct. Unless your friend went into control panel, user accounts and then deleted it...I don't know DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING, UNLESS NECESSARY Good Luck -Help |
