I tried password recovery - they couldn't decipher my password on free
system. |I have tried every possible password I could think of to no avail.
I really need to download something from the internet that is work related
and I am on a deadline (08/26/07) TODAY!! I think I'm computer illiterate.
Is it possible to re-install Windows Vista from my disk and start all
over???? Please help!!

If it is that critical, yes, you should be able to reinstall and start over.
Be aware that you will lose everything on the hard drive and you will need
to reinstall all of your programs.

Thank you Ronnie - I am going to re-install. This is my home computer and
I've only had it for 6 months. Most of my programs I have installed will be
easy to replace. Thanks again for your help.
