HELP!! My dad has totally locked me out of my own computer. All I can use it for is word processing.?

Okay, I don't like giving this out to the genral public, so if you rate me best, and give me your e-mail, I'll give you a quick, simple way to hack the admisistrator!!

If not, too bad for you.

Hi,

Do you have service pack 2, if not then boot into safe mode and log into that administrator - by default it has no password,

if not there is a number of tools that you can get to reset or change the password but can be complex to do. Try having a google search XP password recovery

Thanks
Paul

what kind of computer is it?
try calling customer care they should be able to help
but that really suck you can probably get the number of the computer companies customer care from the yellow pages or go back to the library and look it up on the computer
if you tell me what kind of computer it is i can look up the number for you... you can also take to the place that you bought it from they should be able to help you.
sometimes when you set up a password it usually has a security question that you should be able to answer

good luck

download and install this program, it should fix you up within minutes. let me know how it goes good luck.

You can use the restore DVD or CDs that came with your computer to restore the operating system to its original condition. Choose the "restore with backup" option so that all the files that you and your dad had created will be saved in a separate folder.

take it to a laptop shop with a 'lab' ie a techy shop...and explain the situation...they will know how to hack it...and they MAY help if they beleve you...it would help to bring your dad and any documentation you have regarding this laptop...

uasually if somebody forgets a password for that kind of stuff there is a backup security question? i dont really know if that helps

sorry

Backup your files and reinstall windows if you have the cd - also see if the password has a hint

if your dad really wants you to have free use of your computer, he would be able to unlock it. there are several ways to unlock it, and you can do it by yourself, there are alot of good suggestions from the answers people have provided you. however, i don't think that is the main issue. the main issue you have to deal with is earning your dad's trust. there was a reason why your dad locked it in the first place, and there is a reason why he is keeping it that way. it's not the end of the world that you can't access your email at home.

This will clear the administrator password for Windows.
