Administrator Account Password.

‎04-08-2012 07:08 PM

I have a password set for my administrator account. Recently, i have not logged into the account and I've forgotten the password. Is there anyway to remove the password or change it without altering/moving/deleting my files?

Hi,

 

Try using a password reset utility such as the free application on the link below.
