However, unfortunately, when I got it home and wanted to log into my HP laptop, I found that I couldn\u2019t think of the administrator password. The admin password has been forgotten.<\/p>\n

If forgot the only administrator password for Windows Vista login<\/strong>, whether I could only reinstall Windows system to remove the forgotten login password? The answer is surely not. Now I will share you two Windows Vista password recovery ways.<\/p>\n

2. When the installation interface appears, click Repair your computer<\/b>\u00a0and choose Command Prompt<\/b>\u00a0in the following dialog.<\/p>\n

3. On the command prompt window, type mmc.exe<\/strong>\u00a0and press Enter.<\/p>\n

5. Return to the Console Operation Interface, click “Local Users and Groups” and then click Users<\/strong>. The Windows system will list all the users on the right side of the window.
