Vista - Forgotten Password: Will reinstall Vista however ...

I have inserted the reinstallation disk into the CD reader however the
computer never boot from that unit, so it's doesn't worth helping resolve.

 

In BIOS, you have to alter the Boot Order, so that the DVD/CD drive is 1st in
the boot order; insert Vista DVD, reboot, reinstall vista.

Or, use the link above to download and make a bootable CD to solve your
forgotten password problem!

 

Can't use a cd reader.

Vista comes on a DVD

 

The windows Vista software comes on a DVD not a CD therefore the DVD cannot
be read in a CD-ROM. If, however, you do have a DVD-ROM then it may be that
the DVD-ROM is not set as the first boot option in the BIOS. Take a look at
this link from my website:
http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_enable_cdrom_support_i.htm The
instructions are to enable a CD-ROM but the same procedure applies to a DVD,
so just substitute any reference to CD in the instructions to DVD.
