I changed the password to the admin account. I can't get into the admin account now! I have tried every variation of right and wrong ways to spell it. Still no luck.
I did find out that I would need to dump & reinstall Windows 7, but I can't do it from the guest account! I can't do anything from this account!

How can I get back into the admin account?

I have an e-machine, IE, Windows 7.

Thanks.



Am I forever screwed?

1. cd080802 password recovery

here is a way change your password using a live mini linux cd or flash. I've used the cd many times with no problem. I just set the admin acct to blank so I can reboot to Windows. I've had trouble trying to get a bootable flash so I just unzip the file and you get an iso file and burn to cd ( bios boot order may need to be changed) and boot.


You may have to get the cd on another working machine unless you can download and burn from you guest acccount.

Just google (cd080802) for more info.
