Anybody GEEK COMPUTER? *help*

GalaxyAngel · 02-19-2007, 04:06 PM

We've forgotten how works win2000 Where can we find the access due my daughter forgot their pwd to open access computer.

We were struggle and try to backbone use esc and del but not working..
so other way we try through ms_dos but not work.. require pwd
oh fawk!

Do you have any solution ideas... My daughter doesn't want to lose her favorite files and images so many in her computer. Just want open fregg'n window... require pwd..

She felt bad and not even think twice... she jump and change pwd few minute later, then forgot her pwd... Bad struggle to get into the computer access.

Anybody help have another way solution?

TFWFalcon · 02-19-2007, 04:17 PM

Have you try restore system?. like happen today reset or change PW then try restore date back two days before reset or change PW. hope help you today?
Good Luck get back PW soon.

diehardbiker · 02-19-2007, 04:22 PM

Well, Win2000 is based on Windows NT environment which have much stronger security thus impossible to retrieve password unless you got admistrator password which is unlikely in thise case. Administrator account is only way to go around, but won't be that easy.

TFWFalcon · 02-19-2007, 04:30 PM

diehardbiker...yeah but wait see if she made it or not. There have other way to get PW. I am not going post here how do it. I rather send PM. I don't want other people who is not respect their personal computer doing hack PW to enter without authorized their computer.

GalaxyAngel · 02-19-2007, 06:15 PM

It's Administrator account belong to my daughter's. Her own computer..
*ahem*
Just happened!

ringo · 02-19-2007, 08:52 PM

tell your daughter to think harder about the password.

purplecatty · 02-19-2007, 08:53 PM

I have Administrator Password reset CDrom (cackling hee hee). Sorry I cannot help you directly. But suggest you figure it out on google or youtube.

good luck

CoolieFroggie · 02-19-2007, 09:13 PM

hold that thought.. i think i know how.. but i gotta to think how.. i will pm

RickL66 · 02-19-2007, 10:53 PM

One of the easiest way to "save" files and favorites off a computer, is to take the hard drive out and put it in another computer as a slave drive (AKA D: drive or whatever letter it assigns it to) and then boot up the computer as usual. When you go in, go to the drive that you added, back up all the files, favorites, etc... and then you can simply format the hard drive and start with a fresh install and then restore all the files back on.

If you do not have a spare computer to connect as a slave drive, you can do it the hard way and create a linux boot disk and delete the SAM file which stores the passwords. See Recover Administrator's password for more info.

I suggest that you take a sledgehammer to her computer. Problem solved! Especially with the attitude she's giving you!

Oh dear!

Next time, you use your own name in Administrator account. You are responsible on the computer... It will be easier for you to find out if you own Administrator account for the family.

I own Administrator account for the family. My both boys have their own passwords to open their account without internet. I'm the one who add password to open the internet for my boys.

My boys gave me their passwords to keep in file for the case. They trust me for not spy their accounts. I only need their password for the case if any happened to my computer then I has to open their accounts to find out...

Tell her that you can't help her if she has no patience but best thing is wipe everything out...

Angel · 02-20-2007, 08:41 AM

Yeah she's was just frustrated by the lack of patiences....

How's your daughter's computer? are you able to get a new password?...

leigh · 02-20-2007, 08:58 AM

I know how to enable/disable password, only in my windows xp i don't know if windows 2000 are the same way as xp
if you are admins then go to control panel then click on User Account, go to your daughter account then go to create a password
now she can used new password

hope it help

It's probably in 2938749328752837 pieces because I suggested that GalaxyAngel take a sledgehammer to it and she probably took my advice.

cdaigle430 · 02-20-2007, 11:45 AM

There are programs that you can boot your PC from and they will allow you to go in and reset passwords, I have used them many times successfully. It would be better to have someone who knows how, do this for you.

GalaxyAngel · 02-20-2007, 11:54 AM

still fusterate!

I can't find plain cdrom read/write... Oh fawk! I believe my older son took and used it up for his music... Made me pissy off big time..

Last resort... Cdrom win2000 (hopefully to see if works)

She know how use change her own pwd by manager admin! (I'll figure another way to use prevent her access into other way admin)

Angel · 02-20-2007, 12:07 PM

Aww sorry to hear that GalaxyAngel, and I hope it works too, I wish I could help you hon, but I don't know a thing or two about computers.....

GalaxyAngel · 02-20-2007, 12:29 PM

Update: Win2000 cdrom isn't bootable *wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
My hubby still struggle figures the pwd and try access it..
btw this friday, we'll going buy cdrom read and write and download the bootable.

Liebling:-))) · 02-20-2007, 12:50 PM

Just take a sledgehammer to the computer, and then you won't have to deal with the frustrations that comes with having a computer anymore! Simple solution!

leigh · 02-21-2007, 09:30 AM

ok... try used safe mode

boot up your pc and press hold F8, go to safe mode and wait for blue screen come up. it will look like 16Bit, so you can access anything

Angel · 02-21-2007, 07:54 PM

I try looking through google to see if I could help you with the problem you're having, this is what I came across....

Quote:

Warning! Do not change the password for the account named Administrator. This account is designed for use by UIS technicians to access your computer if a problem occurs. If the password for this account is changed, your hard drive may have to be entirely erased before any adjustments or repairs can be made.

The problem your daughter having is, she changed her password again didn't she?, and it cause problems occurs to her computer, she should have never changed it ....
