yea or if you have a computer at a friends house who is admin you can download a program called ophcrack LIVECD and burn it to a cd using nero or other cd burning software. go into bios and boot from cd and it will find the admin, and other user accounts passwords. restart the computer and login as the admin. i actually did this at school and now i am the admin on the computer and all the computers in the school because the admin password is the same on all the computers!!!!!!!!!

You should change the password instead of keeping it Blank.Evenif you forget the Admins Pass , what you gonna do :P I know you have nosolution except Re-Installing a new copy over it or Re-InstallRepair...

safe mode not requiredMake Yourself Admin On A Computer

You don't really need to go to safe mode. If the administrator account does not have a password, click once on a user name having a password (In the password box). Then press ctrl + Alt + del. You should get the old NT style login box. Type in Administrator in the user name and press enter.

Does anyone have a way to find out the administrator password of a windows vista basic lenovo x200, because I go to a school and the school basically owns my laptop until I leave that school.

How it worksMake Yourself Admin On A ComputerReplying to rejected When windows is installed a user account called administrator is set up. When you get a new computer and you go through the mini setup it has you create another administraotr account with a name of your choosing lets say it is called "Bob". Now you have to administrator accounts "administrator" and "Bob". If you do not log in and setup a passowrd for administrator then anyone can just log into the administrator account and change any settings they want. You do not need to be in safe mode. All you need to do is click CTRL+ALT+DEL then CTRL+ALT+DEL at the login screen and you will get a box you can type the "administrator" username into then leave the password field blank. If it logs into the account you have no password on that account and you should set one up! Hope this helps.-reply by BriGuy
