Hi gincho,<br />

The best course of action here is for you to contact the hardware manuafactuer. In this case, Acer's technical support will most likely have a backdoor password in order for you to Re-Image it.

I have an acerM610 desktop running Vista Home Premium. Someone put a password on the only admin account on the machine and now cannot remember what is is. Only the guest account is accessible. They did not create the recovery DVDs. How do I rebuild the system without the password. The repair utility requires the passwoord. Thanks for your help

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
