re: password not working Sunday, September 13, 2009 at 10:34 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Louis (14 messages posted) I trust this is consistant...Attempting to reset or blank an admin psswrd on an newly inherited Vista system, I'm unable to read or otherwise utilize any CD under the guest user's profile (the only portal available...the admin psswrd in unknown). Whether this was instituted by the orignal owner (a retired librarian) as a security measure, I don't know. I'm aware of the many fixes involving an iso image burned to a bootable disc, etc. But how can I even consider this being unable to read a CD, bootable or otherwise? Ultimately, I may have to reformat and re-install an os (XP!), but even this presents a challenge if I'm unable to acess and read from the CD drive.
