use only his guest account now.. So that he couldn't install any
software or do about any useful thing in the laptop that he has.. what
to do?

Hello Ilamparithi,

Your friend can use METHOD THREE in the tutorial below to reset his
password.

Since you posted your friends email address in the public newsgroup
section, you might want to inform him that he may now be getting a bunch
of spam. It's never a good idea to post a email address in the public.
Spybots roam the internet searching for them, then spam them to death
when found. I removed it, but it may be to late.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Forgetting your Windows administrator login password. With no way to get into the system, you can’t even perform basic maintenance, let alone a thorough tune-up. Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. (Plus, guess who’s going to have to help reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?) But all hope is not lost. There are a few ways to actually retrieve a lost Windows account password. Read on, and we’ll show you the light.
