I Have an account on my dad's computer that is an admin account. However, one day I returned from my mom's house to find my account password being rejected. No Matter how I spelled it, and I went through an entire list of things I'd use as passwords.


So I think my dad changed my password on me. Since he has an admin account too.


So now I have to use my Non-Admin account [I started with a non-admin and then he decided to create an admin account for me without telling me. . .he's weird. I know.]


Thing is, I Want to install software for my webcam.
And Sadly, at thr age of 18, I'm still computer-dumb. All I know how to do is get on the internet and messengers. D=


So I need to know how I can hack into my administrative account and get the password so I Can Install my software and recover my account all in one swoop-like-motion. XD


Well. If anyone answers. Thank you. <3

Reboot your machine.

Press F8 before the Windows boot screen appears.

Do not press F5 as used on the NT/9x series of Windows.

You will be be prompted with a boot options menu.

Select the Start Windows in Safe Mode option.

Click through several self-explanatory screens until your reach the familiar 'Welcome' screen.

Note that this welcome screen is limited to 256 colors and 640x480 resolution because the primary graphics will have been set to the Windows Safe Mode software VGA adapter. You will not be able to change this mode even in Display options, while Windows is running in Safe Mode.

Find the icon for the Administrator user. If the default settings of your system haven't been changed, there should be no password for this account.

The Safe Mode Welcome screen might display some of the other users on your system.

Login as the admin.

Press Yes at the prompt asking if you would like to continue using Safe Mode.

Continue on to the User Settings control panel. Here you can change any of the other passwords for user on the machine. Make any changes you want.

Reboot your computer. As long as you don't press any keys (i.e. F8) during the boot-up the computer will startup normally.

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The only way to reset your windows password 100% safe is to use a software called Reset Password Pro.



The software allows you to create a boot-disk, that can be made on a CD/DVD or USB stick. The boot-disk can then be inserted into any locked machine, and it's a simple case of pressing reset. Here is their official site: http://www.resetwindowspass.com

there should be a master admin account on there. if there wasn't a password set on that, use that account to change the password.



Control panel, users account, change a password.

Just ask your dad to let you install it.



If you are as "computer dumb" as you claim, there is a good chance you won't understand how to hack it. There are ways to reset it (such as the one suggested above), but your dad would notice that it was changed. Try honesty.
