Re: I forgot the password to the main user account...HELP
Okay login to any account you have access to.
Go to the start menu -> Run
Type cmd.exe and hit enter. You should now see a black command prompt.
Type in "at 3:26pm /interactive cmd.exe" [without the quotation marks] Change 3:26pm to your current time + a minute.
Now wait a minute or until that time and another prompt screen should open up.
In the new black prompt window type "net user username password" [without the quotation marks] replace username with the login name and a password with a new password.
This should reset that accounts password unless microsoft updated a patch for this method.. Reboot and try to login to that account with the new password.
Let me know if it works.
Wassalaam
