    Default OPHCRACK AND ACTIVE @ PASSWORD

    Hey,

    Basically i really need my admin account back on vista, ive tried working around it on guest, but i cant install anything or perform any administrative tasks.


    I'm about to try OphCrack
    which is a vista password recovery program.
    Has anyone had any experences with this program, or know if it is safe?
    http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net.

    The other soloution is Active @ Password changer, but its 60$ and i really dont have that money to spend. ive heard its good
    http://password-changer.com

    Please could you let me know about Ophcrack and Active @ Password Changer.

    I need to do it asap.

    Put it into safe mode and use the Admin account there to get on and change your password. Works on Xp. Or if you can't change pass then create a new account (Obv).
