    Desperate to get OLD password before today


    My laptop has been having issues, so today was the day, was gonna figure it all out. Long story short, a page I was reading said to disable all in Task Manager. Something told me don't do it, but I did. Now I cannot get past the sign in pin!! I had Dell on the phone forever, he was trying a system restore, I could not remember my Microsoft password, so I changed it on my old desktop. Now it won't accept it at all on the laptop. Dell said they cannot fix the laptop so I am SOOL. If I had my Microsoft password before today I could do a system restore, but I cannot get past the PIN start p

    Reuse/Reset an old Password

    Thanks for your quick response. But my problem is that M.S. says old password con not be used. I want to switch back to my old password. I think I need to contact M.S. to clear the registry for my passwords. Then, I will be able to switch back.

    Lost My Administrator Password

    To which "this" are you referring?
    - If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
    - If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.
