Problem with password

Everytime I try to install something new or update something on m
computer, a window pops up and says "To continue, type an administrato
password and click ok". The problem is, no one in my family knows th
password. The guy that we paid from a pseudo-Geek Squad company to se
up our computer chose the password but neglected to tell us what it is

Anyone know how I can change the password settings without knowing th
password

Contact the "pseudo-Geek Squad" company and insist they fix the problem
their employee created.

There is no easy solution to this problem. Call the tech and get that
password... or reinstall Vista.

Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ . There you will find
zip files that will let you create boot floppy disks or bootable CDs
that will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system.

Please post back if ntpasswd application works or not to solve your problem.

Thanks in advance…

There’s a way to reset the password and it doesn’t involve reformatting and reinstalling Windows. The solution is called Windows Password Reset 6.0. It can reset almost all Windows passwords in seconds.
