hi first of all, i would say i am pretty clued up on computers.
second of all, i know vista is totally a waste of time, but lack of time at the moment with purchasing and renovating new home i cannot install better os.
now, i have had my pc from new, decent spec for what i need. media center hub. stored files shared throughout house.
ok, i am logged into administrator account.
i have it set to auto login i done this about 2 years ago.
for some reason, i have just attempted to update firefox.
when i downloaded .exe, upon running it says i do not have the admin rights.
"run as" box pops up, with username as administrator and password blank.
ok
my account i am doing this on is called "Mike" and this is the administrator account.
i cannot remember my password, for the life of me, ive inputted 6 of my most common, and it still will not work.
i have absolutely no IDEA whatsoever what the password is.
i am hoping this is the right place to get help because i dont have the time to search the web for stuff when this is a genuine csae.
i will explain why i dont have time, i am currently sat here in freezing condition in my grandparents house, i cannot stand the cold and my fingers are falling off :) (yes laugh it up) - so i need a quick fix just to retreive this passwrd without burning cds etc./
because its connected to my TV via hdmi.
and i dont know why, but it will not show me the MSDOS startup where it says ESC or f5 or f12 etc
to boot via disc..
so i dont know what to press
so i just want to have this password in black and white infront of me.
so i can change it to a passsword that i will remember, yes i will remember it this time 100%
so i do not have this in the future because i am actually fuming right now
any help what so ever would help this cold, angry, but calm (at present) lad and make his day feel so much better!
