Hi,
I haven't used my computer for a few months and can't remember my password now!
I don't know much about computers, is there an easy way to recover my windows password?
Thanks,
Petra |

The easies trick to recover your windows password is to login as administrator. Often this account is left open without password so if you're lucky you can use it to reset your password.
On the screen where you are supposed to enter your password (login screen) press your keyboard keys Ctrl Alt Del together (you may have to do it twice), then you will get another window with your account name written in it. Delete it and type: administrator and leave the password area blank, then press enter. If you are lucky, your computer will enter windows desktop screen (if not, you the troubleshooting process is more complicated, so just send us another request and we'll try to guide you through).
So now, you are supposed to have a desktop screen, thus you will click on start, then control panel, then user Accounts. Then click on your account and click on change your password. Obviously you type whatever password you like, save it and then restart your computer et Voila!
Good luck. |
