Default Forgotten Windows Login

This tutorial is just a small one with no pictures, as none are needed. If you have forgotten the

password to your computer do the following:

1. Restart the computer. The moment it turns back on (as in

has power to it and is starting up) hold down the 'F8' key untill a black and white DOS menu appears.

2. With your keyboard arrow key scroll down to 'Start in Safe-mode' and press enter.

3.

Windows will start, with far less programs running, this is usually used to remove viruses as most viruses will not start in

Safe Mode.
NOTE: Your screen will suddenly have very low resolution. DO NOT WORRY this is just Safe Mode.

4. On the logon screen, you will see the normal username that you cannot access (and others if there are any)

and a new user account named 'Administrator' this account does NOT have a password on it. Click it, and you will

logon to this account.

5. Now go to Start>Control Panel>User Accounts. Click the account you want

to change and click remove password. Simple. Done

6. Restart your computer (without safe-mode) and simply

click the account you are trying to access and your in h34r:

Note: this is to be used on your OWN

computer on your OWN account only please
