    Password recovery assistance - CANNOT USE TYPICAL RECOVERY METHODS


    Hello Community,I am trying to help a member of the technologically challenged restore his PC. I've peformed a recovery on it as it Windows wouldn't even open before. Upon start up, Microsoft asked for his microsoft account and of course he doesn't remember his password. I do have the username, so I attempted password recovery, however the recovery is linked to a phone that he no longer owns, and no matter how much info I put into the "recovery form" it keeps failing. I really need to speak to a member of technical support but cannot find any kind of contact info that would put me in touch

    :)

    hdd password recovery

    howdy. if this isnt the right forum please move it.
    a friend has a 3 year old hp or compaq tower. they called me to help. they are not able to get into the admin accound, because the password was changed. it was changed by them when a popup told them for security they should change thier password.
    after it was changed they could no longer get into the admin account with the password they changed it to, and the computer started sending out emails to everyone on her address list with porn and viagara type adds.
    i ran anti virus and we found 20 trogans, virus, ect. everything comes back clean now, but we still cant get into asdmin account to format drive.she doesnt have a vista system disc, just the recovery partition.
    1.. is there a way to get the password?

    2... if not can i install a new hdd and install from her recovery partition?

    3...will i be able to install new hdd and install vist from my disc or is the mb set up to not alow that?

    thanks for any help, they are on a limited budget and are true friends to me and i would like to help them. thanks! sam
