Login as other user (if other user is available) and manage users. Must be an administrator.
Reformat computer.
Use 3rd party software to remove password. Like http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html
Free software option would be Hirens Boot CD. This one is command prompt only. http://www.hirensbootcd.org/ Must follow instructions exactly.

Go to the link below and download Ophcrack and burn the iso to a cd. Boot from the CD and let it do it's magic. You'll have the password shortly:

If you can't get passed the F2, F12 then maybe the keys are disabled.. Windows does this sometimes. To release just hit "F".. if that doesn't do the trick then probably drive is corrupt..
You will need to restore using restore disc if you have one.

mcdevito75 here, Click onto your email sign on page, where your password goes simply click on forgot pass word, the follow instructions given.

If you are trying to get passed the windows password, you will need a copy of Hirens boot disc, then go into Bios and make the unit boot from CD/ DVD drive. reboot machine.Then run the program "active password changer v3", select account you want the password wiped from, "Administrator" press enter. there is now no password on the Administrator account.

Reboot the computer. Press and hold the f8 button. Select safe mode from the menu. You should be able to see the admin login. Then you can make the changes.

If you are WinXP user indeed you must re-remember the password anyway.It would be the best solution.
Try to remember.if not leave pass some days and try again.Otherwise boot from cdrom with win cd in and setup a fresh win installation to a new directory i.e C:\WINnew.
