Thread: Altered my password, how do I repair

My PC has been impromptu rebooting on its own for about a year now. It accure all couple weeks. I generally just hit "normal" after reboot and obtain back on my PC. But this time something weird has accured.When I obtain to the User/Password page it no longer knew my password. I've utilize this password for years. It gives me a hint, but the suggest has nothing to do with the password I've been utilize.


I tested out to go the "alter password" route. But it required me to permit repel "F". I have no drive "F". So I am at a miss. I am permit my pc correct now with User Administrator, but that is not actually a long term solution as entire my preserved sites are under my personal user name.Can anybody assist me defeat this trouble?

Just to confirm, you are utilizing the hidden "System Administrator" a/c that came with Vista now?If so, I would propose you make "another Admin account" as soon as potential, and begin utilizing that to sort this trouble out. If the hidden System Administrator a/c goes wrong then you have some choice left.


Tell us more about this permit the F drive. What is the accurate wording of the fault content?If you cannot repair this a/c then it is likely the a/c is spoilt. In that case you can follow Microsofts guidance to make a latest a/c, and copy entire the files from the existing profile to the latest one .

When I became to a restore point it did work, I just didn't reecognize it. The cause-I'm guessing since I only restarted the machine and didn't shut it off altogether. Entire I recognize is when I powered up the PC today, the password trouble was finish.


But thank you for entire your idea. If it occurs once again and the restore doesn't operate, then at least I have few choice.
