Windows Vista was created with high security as a priority.
It was considered to be a deterrent to computer theft, because, a stolen computer without access was not such an attractive purchase because of the risk of taking it to a dealer for the system to be accessed.
If you forget your administrator password, and you are on a domain, you can contact your administrator to get the password changed.
If you are not on a domain you would have to use a password reset disc.
Many people do not make such a disc so that if the password is forgotten there is nothing that can be done to recover it.
The only solution open to you is to try very hard to remember your password.
Many of us tend to use the same password for every site we access, but, for those who change their password constantly,it is not so easy.
You should consider the following when trying to remember your password: - Your date of birth and those of family and friends.
- Your area,and roads and buildings around you.
- The names of family pets - Names from your childhood.
- Significant events in your adult life.
Keep trying to logon.
Make sure your caps lock is not on.
Try dots and dashes in different places.
You may just hit lucky, and, if you do, but forget which one worked it is unimportant because you have internet access, and, therefore, access to help to get your password changed.
It is worth the effort, even though frustrating, because, the alternative is to have your system reinstalled, and the subsequent loss of all your work.
