  • wat thhe hell did he say? gp.editemis comand?

  • If you don’t have the reset disk / USB flash disk created beforehand there is no way to remove the password without using 3rd party software. There are many choices today that you can use.

    I read some good reviews about the Password Resetter software which actually works it is very simple and can save you from a lot of trouble.

    You can get the software from resetpasswordwindows

    They claim that the software works on all platforms Windows 7 / Vista / XP and can recover any password instantly.

  • i have a super power:D "use it for good not bad!" LOL

  • it doesnt work for me, it says access denied.
