    You can change your password to something you will remember from another administrative user's account. If you only had one administrative user account and you've forgotten the password, you can use one of the methods below instead. You might then want to follow the general recommendations for setting up user accounts in Vista that I'll give you at the end of this post.

    Doing all this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself best and whether taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place) is the better solution for you.

    Method 1. If you have a Vista installation DVD (not a recovery DVD) you can boot the system with it. Select the default language, then choose "Repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt type:

    net user administrator /active:yes
    net user [insert your user account's name here] [insert new user password like 1234 here]

    [Note: Do not type the brackets!]

    Now you will be able to log into your user account using the password you set; i.e., 1234. If you don't have a Vista installation DVD you can either make a bootable Vista Repair DVD from the file at this link:

    Method 2. Or you can use NTpassword to change your user account's password to a blank. In both cases you will need third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio, or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the .iso as an image, not as data.

    http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
    If you used Method 1, after you have logged into your administrative user account you should disable the built-in Administrator again for security purposes.

    Start Orb>Search box>type: cmd
    When cmd appears in Results above, right-click it and choose "Run as administrator" [OK]. Now you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt type:

    net user administrator /active:no [enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General Recommendations For Setting Up Users In Vista:

    You absolutely do not want to have only one user account. Like XP and all other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user operating system with built-in system accounts such as Administrator, Default, All Users, and Guest. These accounts should be left alone as they are part of the operating system structure.

    You particularly don't want only one user account with administrative privileges on Vista because the built-in Administrator account (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you're running as Administrator for your daily work and that account gets corrupted, things will be Difficult. It isn't impossible to activate the built-in Administrator to rescue things, but it will require third-party tools and working outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work should be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like "CompAdmin" or "Tech" or the like) only there for elevation purposes. After you create "CompAdmin", log into it and change your regular user account to Standard. Then log back into your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the Desktop and skip the Welcome Screen with the icons of user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb>Search box>type: netplwiz [enter]
    Click on Continue (or supply an administrator's password) when prompted by UAC

    Uncheck the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to automatically log on by clicking on the desired account to highlight it and then hit OK. Enter the correct password for that user account (if there is one) when prompted. Leave it blank if there is no password (null).
