  1. Forgot Windows Password


    I am logged on as Administrator, but certain actions require my "password". I have NO IDEA that I even HAD a password or what it could be. I found something: in Run type " keymgr.dll" I tried that and found that "keymgr.dll" was missing. If that is true, how can I get it and install it?


    WHY shouldn't I be able to find list of MY OWN passwords?

    Thanks for any help

    :)

    Forgot password....

    Um, are we talking about a windows password?

    Lookup a program called Active Password Changer, its a bootable cd that will remove windows passwords *Smile Forgot Windows Password :)

    If it's a bios password, reset the bios *not so easy with some notebooks*
