Hi,
I have tried to access my user account and it says to enter a
password..
My account has never had a password before and i have tried to put in
all the passwords i have used in the past.
I am of Administrator level and the computer built in Administrator is
disabled although i know the password.

I cannot access my computer at all as the account i use is the only
account on the computer..

How can i reset my computer to allow myself access to my account or
access the computer's admin account to remove my password?

Hello Danny,
Here is the link to the tutorial showing you the solution. In your
case, you can ONLY use **** Method Three ****, the other options are not
applicable to your situation. Also read the NOTE section (B). Good luck.

No problem.
PS. After you have regain access to your computer, you might want to
consider having 2 admin accounts, for situation like this, or if one
admin acct has been affected or corrupted, you still have another one to
fall back on.
I keep my built-in admin active. I never use it, but it's my trump card
in the sleeve.

Someone had the same problem. An MVP, (I think), gave an explanation.
But it's a l while back. If you care to or want to, go through all those
pages from vista account administration, you may find the thread. Don't
ask me how long ago, not a clue.
