Answer 1

What computer? What OS?

Answer 2

Log your computer into the Administrators Account using Safe Mode, and go reset your password through Control Panel/Users. If you cannot get into the Administrators Account through safe mode. Then my only suggestion I can offer, is take it into a repair shop and be prepared to prove (with receipts) that the computer is yours. And they will reset the password with a special program disk. Good Luck

Answer 3

Okay. I am asuming you mean Windows XP. If so:
Log into another Administrative Account. Go to the Control Panel and choose "User Accounts". Click the account that you can't remember and choose "remove password". Now go back to the main control panel screen and choose "user accounts" Now click "change the way users log on and off" check both boxes. now log off and the "welcome screen" should appear. Simply click on the user name and it should work.

Answer 4

u should do such a work if u r not authorised to do that. but one thing is that there is no way u can log on to the computer if u forget the user name and password, u have to format the drive where the OS is and re-install.

Answer 5

If it is Windows XP then login as administrator (if you know the password). Go to Control Panel, Users and reset the password.

Answer 6

well who is the administrator? how can u forget the name? do u not have an emergency user icon for visitors to get on it? oh boy.. go thru the start button perhaps ur name is in the control panel somewhere or drives. can u get in the start button and look up programs drives? use the search button..

Answer 7

You don't.
