computer help: Is there anyone out there who can help me reset my sons computer? - Help.com

you can do a factory reset on the computer by pressing either F10 or F11 repeatedly during startup-that will take you to a recovery screen where you can reset the whole computer to how it was when you got it, however that will delete everything off of it that wasnt there when you bought it so you will lose any documents/photos etc.

Do you have the restoration disk?

ill be careful as if its a new computer and it has a warrenty, some computers do count a factory reset as a void of warrenty, so make sure u read the small print before doing that. if it doesn’t allow u 2 do that on warrenty take it back to the store u got it from n tell them so they can do it n 4 me mine is F8 to do it

That’s my video on how to “hack” your Windows password.
If you have Vista, you’ll need to get on another computer and make a DOS boot disk (google Bart PE) - and use the net user command illustrated in this video:

The command you’ll want to issue (ONLY IF YOU HAVE VISTA) from DOS is:
“net user Administrator /hidden:no” (no quotes)
Or you could try to reset the password of the account from DOS but I don’t know how that’d work with priveliges and all.
That command would be:
“net user account name> new password>”
