How do I reset the Vista net user password when it does not work with the User Name “C&D Sign...
Recently C&D Sign Company sold their business to a local church. Now I have this machine in my shop, and all my efforts to reset the password, including Ophcrack, and many other methods, changing utilman.exe to cmd.exe are to no avail.
C&D Sign Company is the Administrator. Two other accounts are standard users. The hidden Administrator account is not accessible because I don't have the password for C&D.
Net User error "The command completed with one or more errors. It has to be the user name, C&D Sign Company!
Trying this: net user command ...
I entered net user C&D Sign Company none ...

The command completed successfully.
'D' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. (referring to C&D, I assume.) There is an account on the machine with nothing in it, a standard account, non-admin labeled "C."
Please help me. The Church has all the hardware to make the signs and needs the computer to program the equipment. Thank You.

User Account Control window pop up shows C&D Sign Company and wants a password, all attempts return with Logon Failure: unknown user name or bad password.

You can enable the built-in Administrator without knowing the current Administrator password. All you need is a Vista installation disk.

For some reason most password reset utilities do not work on Vista, the only one I have found that works reliably is ERD made by Microsoft, it is part of the DaRT package, you want ERD 6.0, not publicly available but can be found....superuser.com/a/247953/40928

I found a program called Offline NT Password and Registry Editor. This little GEM did the trick, cleared the password, and got me back on track with the machine.
