What is the Windows Vista Administrator’s Login Password?

When you have installed Windows Vista first time, how long did it take you to realize that you lost the administrator’s password? With me it was about a week before I needed to make some changes in the file system. It suddenly occurred to me that being logged in as administrator might make the User Account Control dialog box go away, but I didn’t know the administrator’s password! What the heck is the Vista administrator’s default password?
Unlike the previous releases of Windows, Windows Vista does not automatically create an Administrator account during installation. The theory is that the typical Windows user does not need to run with administrator privileges. Using a non-administrator account will prevent a Windows user from accidentally deleting operating system folder, files, and registry information, and prevent any Malware infecting the computer from doing the same. However, if you really need to run as an Administrator, you can easily activate the built-in Administrator account yourself.
Here are the basic steps to activate Vista’s Administrator account and assign it a password:

1. Logon to Vista using a standard user account
2. From the Start menu, navigate to the Command Prompt menu item in the Accessories menu
3. Right-click on the Command Prompt menu item and select Run as Administrator
4. Click the Continue button on the User Account Control dialog box
5. At the command prompt, enter net user administrator password, and hit Enter
6. At the command prompt, enter net user administrator activate:yes, and hit Enter
7. At the command prompt, enter exit and hit Enter to close the command window
8. Log off and logon as Administrator using the password you selected

This procedure activates a user account named Administrator and assigns it Full Control security privileges. The user name “Administrator” is reserved, so you cannot create a user account with this name even if you haven’t activated the built-in Administrator account. Depending on the local password policy of the computer, you might be required to enter a password of a minimum length or complexity, and not be allowed to use a blank password.

I Forgot my Vista Administrator Password!

The User Accounts applet in Control Panel features the Create a password reset disk wizard. Using this wizard, a floppy disk or USB flash drive can be created that allows the password of a specific user account on a specific Windows Vista computer to be reset by the user. Possession of the reset disk is considered to be authorization to reset the account’s password. The reset disk can also be reused to reset the account’s password multiple times. However, you need to know the password of the account you want to create the reset disk for, and you must create the reset disk before you forget the account’s password.
To use the Vista password reset disk:

1. Insert the floppy or USB reset disk in the computer
2. Click the Reset password… item on the Vista logon screen to start the Password Reset Wizard
3. Click the Next button
4. Enter a new password
5. Reenter the new password
6. If prompted, enter a password hint
7. Click the Next and Finished buttons
8. Enter your new password to logon to the user account

I Didn’t Make a Password Reset Disk!

OK, you can reset a forgotten Windows Vista password without a Vista password rest disk, but you won’t receive any help from Vista to do it. Instead, the Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 is you ticked.
Having the ability to reset forgotten passwords and gain administrator access to your computer and can be a great time saver, but should only be a attempted by an IT professional. Using sophisticated system manipulation tools, you can easily make things worse rather than better.

How to Hack Windows Password in 3 Minutes

There are a number of reasons that crack a Windows password: just forget what is the password used is working on a computer, etc. Whatever the reason for the need to find a Windows password is Singles and can usually be done in a very short time.

What you Need:

- a Blank CD or a USB Flash Drive
- Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 
To find the Window's password, you'll need a program called Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 . It is completely free, and works very well. It is not really a program--it is a LiveCD that is burned to a blank CD (or a USB flash drive if using on a newer computer) .

Installing

Navigate to the official website at http://www.windows7password.net/go/winpwd/  -- download the Live CD ISO and save it to your computer. Once it is downloaded, you will need to burn the disc image to a blank CD or USB flash drive. The software used will vary--if your system doesn't have burning software already installed, you can download a trial of Nero, or something free like ImgBurn. Burn it at a low speed.

Using

To use the software, insert the CD into the optical drive on the computer you wish to gain access to and hold the power button until it shuts down. Turn it back on and when the compute logo appears, press the button for the system to enter BIOS. Change the boot sequence to CD first, then Save and Exit BIOS.
The Live CD will start working at the password. You can follow the guides. For the average users password, it will likely take about two seconds to crack. For a very long password, it could take a five seconds, but that is the exception, not the rule.
Once it crack the password to blank, then remove the CD and restart the system. Enter the password at login and then change/remove it to whatever you would like.
Note: Common sense says that this should only be used on computers you are authorized to gain access to. If you use this to find the password to a computer that is not your, it is illegal. This article is for informational purposes only.

how to Protect Your Computer Privacy ( e.g. windows password).

1.Administrators Password:

It is the most common way to lock your computer. But is it the safest way? Mostly, it is the easiest way to lock your computer.

How to set administrators password?

These steps work in every case as long as you’re able to log in as an administrator.
①In Windows Vista, click the Start button, and in the “Start Search” field, enter lusrmgr.msc .
②In Windows XP or 2000, from the Start menu, select Run… . In the window that opens, type lusrmgr.msc and click OK.
Double-click the Users folder. On the right, in the list of local users, right-click the account name for the Administrator account, and select Set Password.
Note: On some computers, the account will not be named “Administrator” because the owner or administrator either changed that name or added administrative accounts with different usernames. In either case, you will need to know which of the accounts in the list is the designated Administrator account.
Also be aware that on Windows Vista by default, and in some Windows XP computers by owner or administrator choice, the account named “Administrator” is disabled (this doesn’t apply to Windows 2000; built-in accounts cannot be disabled in that operating system). Setting a password does not automatically re-enable the account, but it is useless to change a disabled account’s password if your goal is to affect currently active administrator accounts.
Alternate methods
You can also change the administrator password by going into the Control Panel and using the “User Accounts” control. Some users may prefer this method to the universal steps above. Follow the instructions below for your situation and operating system.
But if you forgot your windows password, how can you recover administrator password?
Please refer to How to Recover and Reset Password in windows 7/Vista/XP/2003/2K/NT for Free
2.BIOS Password/ Start up Password:
Your computers BIOS is the first program that is run when your computer starts. You can tell the BIOS to ask for a password when it starts, thus restricting access to your computer.
BUT it is very easy to clear BIOS password for some people.
How to set BIOS password?
Turn on or reboot your computer. The screen will display a series of diagnostics and a memory check.
A message like “Hit the
key to enter the BIOS setup program” will appear.
When you do hit DEL(It’s not always the DEL key some BIOS’s use F2 or F10 or anothother key combination, check your motherboard manual) at the right time you’ll see a menu screen something like this:

Note: Some BIOS versions use a graphical type menu with icons (a GUI) or have a text interface that appears differt to the one shown, the principle however is exactly the same.
As you can see there are two options that relate to passwords, Supervisor Password and User Password, these relate to controlling access to the BIOS Setup Program and the Machine Boot respectively.
Note that not all BIOS’s have this password feature, your bios may not have it in which case you won’t be able to restrict access to your computer in this way.
Select USER PASSWORD and you’ll be prompted to enter a password:
You should now enter a password of up to eight characters (most BIOS’s are limited to eight characters unfortunately).  I recommend you use the full eight but take care that you choose something you’ll not forget.
The BIOS will then prompt you to confirm the password, just type the same thing again.
Now you’ll want to set your system to ask for that password every time it boots, so select the BIOS FEATURES SETUP option, to see a menu something like this:
Fairly obviously, it’s the Password Check option we’re interested in, so select it and change the setting to ALWAYS.
Now navigate back to the main menu and select SAVE & EXIT SETUP.  Your machine will then reboot and you’ll be prompted for the password.
Each and every time you boot you’ll be asked for password you chose.
Please note that this method of restricting access to your computer is not completely foolproof, there are ways around it. But it will stop or at least delay the majority of casual attempts to get access.
If you forget your BIOS password, refer to How to Reset BIOS Password?
3.Hard Disk Password
It is not a very well known fact, but all hard disks have a very strong hardware password capability build in. This password is usually stored both in a chip on the HD controller (the printed circuit board on the hard disk) and on the hard disk itself in a special hidden sector.
Setting this password will make the hard disk completely unusable to anyone that doesn’t know it. And not only on your computer, but on any computer.
A lot of newer laptops will set the HD password together with the BIOS password, completely
locking all the hardware.
How to set Hard Disk Password?
This procedure is for setting password on the HDD in the ThinkPad, for HDD in the Select-A-Dock refer to your user guide.
1. Start Easy-Setup by pressing and holding F1 and then turning on the computer.
2. Select Password icon and then select HDD-1 or HDD-2 according to the hard disk type you want to set.
3. Type your desired hard disk password; then press Enter. You can use any combination of up to 7 characters. Use a combination of any letters or numbers (A to Z, 0 to 9) in uppercase (A) or lowercase (a). Uppercase and lowercase letters are treated the same.
4. Type your hard disk drive password again to verify it; the press Enter.
The hard disk manufacturers are unable to unlock a password protected hard disk, as there aren’t any “secret” master passwords build into the firmware. Even swapping the controller of the password-protected hard disk with exactly the same controller from an unprotected HD will not remove the protection on most disks, as the password (together with most of the firmware) is also stored on the hard disk itself.
The only way of retrieving any files from a password protected hard disk without knowing the password is to send it to a data recovery company for unlocking, but not all data recovery companies could or would unlock a password protected HD.
In this time of rising identity theft, protecting your personal data by locking your hard disk with a password is indeed a good idea. The downside is that when the HD eventually malfunctions it will be harder or even impossible to retrieve any files from it. So, the first rule of using a computer applies here in full strength – “Your data is only as good as your latest backup”!
Enjoy your private computer!!
