  1. Wrong password but it is not


    So, I have this problem.I was following a tutorial about how to delete a file which I couldn't delete it was an ISO file, a copy of a PS2 videogame. At a certain point, the tutorial suggests me to- run CMD as admin- type the following command net user administrator /active: yes and press enter- type the following command net user administrator <Password> and press enter- restart your computerbut I unintentionally skip the third step, providing not a password. The computer rebooted and my password, the same old password which I have always used to login in the local account I have not

    Wrong Password


    The "Old Password" is the password to your local account. It is about to change your local account to a Microsoft Account. If you don't mind this, then enter your local account password. If you think this is overly intrusive of Microsoft, don't do it and let Cortana die.

    You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

    Wrong password but it is not

    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.
