Vista Ultimate completed system restore rolled back 5 days now wants password to log in but there was no password ever created on laptop
Hi,
I had a issue with vista where there was an issue where I changed some network settings i.e. joined a new workgroup this caused a problem with some legacy software (funny that). The login process on the laptop never had any passwords i.e. just logged in. When I rolled back 5 days using vista system restore the machine boots now asking for a password. Never had login screen before for password when I issue a blank password it asks to "contact network administrator". I now cannot log into laptop.

Get yourself a Hiren's boot CD and use one of the password reset tools. I've used the active password reset one on a client's Vista machine who'd locked themselves out and couldn't remember their password

There is another way that is easy and works but cost some money.

Where I work we use Activ@'s password recovery software. There is no machine that we have used it on that it didn't work. Granted it isn't free but it is real fast and easy to use.
