depends on you username ... have you logged in as
administrator or as a normal user ? with admin privileges?
if you ve logged in with a username diffrent the
Administrator Name so for example username: Goodguy or
something like that, try to login as administrator (hope
you remeber this pw) there you can set under users a new
password for you ...
also you can find lots of programs in the internet how
does that ... but no trails war ... and theyīre
expensive ...
I donīt know ... maybe you last chance is to join a domian
and set there a new account with admin privileges ....
but i donīt know if youre wllowed to join one without
admin privileges ... but i guess not ...
hope i could help ya ...bye bye
