How do I delete an administrator password while using a limited account?
I recently created a new account on my laptop ( have vista) as a limited account so other people could use it without having access to my files/documents etc.
Now after shutting down, i have just turned my laptop back on in plans to get some work done and i cannot access my administrator account! every time i log in with the CORRECT password it says that it is incorrect..
Have i been hacked?
Or has making the new limited account effected my admin account??
Now i can only access the limited account which will not allow me to load certain applications because i need admin permission !
How do i remove/change back the password on my admin account so i can access it? ?
Please help this account contains all my work and documents i can’t afford to lose..

A password isn’t going to stop anyone, simply run your laptop in safe mode by holding the off button or removing the battery 3 times when the windows loading screen appears, forth time it should display an option for safe mode, once in safe mode just delete or reset, your password.
Without a password reset disk, you won’t be able to change or remove the admin password from a restricted account.
