Password Help

[imbeejit]

Hey guys I've got a Windows 7 Ultimate and my dad recently updated it but it deleted Combat Arms, and my dad won't tell me the Admin password. Anyone know how I can find the password, or make my account Admin so i can redownload CA/ other games?

There are like thousands password recovery tools for Windows, check those. Yes, google it. Go on, I won't google for you.

I've tried to google, most of them uses cmd but I get Error 5, and also the other ones that go on CDs like Kon-Boot doesnt work for me. Windows detects that something is wrong and just keeps restarting

I was referring mainly to the boot CDs and stuff. When you boot from your CD you shouldn't even come to Windows / Are you sure you are booting the CD right?

Yep i downloaded the Iso file, used Power2Go to write it to the disk, and then restarted computer with disk inside and when it boots from CD, it shows Kryptoslogic logo and then it shows the Konboot logo, and after that it loads Windows, but then when windows is loading, it restarts because it detedcted the file change... Can't find any other programs that work. Ive tried OPHCrack too... didn't work
I have a Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and 2gb ram

wait, why don't you ask ur dad? if you want to get admin you need code. btw you can get admin code via BIOS (at startup)

Cause my dad is an a ss, he doesn't want me to play Combat Arms even though its the summer and there's no school, he also thinks CA is a Virus cause it always asks you for your Admin password, but he never checks my account so he'll never notice

You can't actually, the BIOS is in no way connected to the admin password? /

Sorry man, but I would try to get another of those boot-time password recovery tools. Personally I never really had to use any so I don't know any names, but I'm sure you'll get one that works. Alternatively you can try brute forcing the password (another 1 million tools for that as well). Sorry if I can't be any help, I'll take a look into any tools and I'll ask some windows-using friends too when I get back on my desktop (a day or two at the most).

You're dad thinks Combat Arm's is a virus? What is wrong with him, you're using Vista right? Almost everything needs admin rights... does he know anything about a computer other than opening a browser and security? Lol... sorry but that's... eh. I'll stop there.

The "admin rights" system is called UAC and can be disabled (totally warning-less environment like XP)

Beats me, I didn't even know windows 7 had admin rights, I thought only Vista did that O.o
