The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    My sibling's friends messed up my old laptop with 32-bit vista home premium and deleted my admin account and created all of their own. I cannot access any of the accounts because I do not know the passwords. I have some files in the D drive I'd like to recover but first I would like to know how to log into or create an admin account without knowing the password.

    Unfortunately our forum rules prohibit discussion of bypassing security measures. This is, at times, an inconvenience and I apologize for that. However, it's necessary as we have no method of verifying who will use such information and for what purpose.
