Solve : Administrator Login for Recovery?

Answer»

My sister-in-law gave me an old Dell Inspiron 13 laptop. The OS seems to have a corrupted webio.dll issue which I can't fix with any solution I can find on the internet. The laptop doesn't seem to come with a recovery disk, but there is a recovery partition within it.

As I run the recovery, I was prompted to log in to the administrator account, which is not same with the one in User Account:



I've tried all the possible passwords that my sister-in-law can remember, but non works.

Any solution to this?

Thank you.It matters which Windows OS you have.

The above is for windows 10.

In Windows XP you boot in safe mode and the administrator might have a blank password.

If you are unable to get in in the system the proper way, you might consider a  sort of kind of of 'hack' by using a LINUX DEMO CD. It is rather involved.
But before doing that, watch some VIDEOS. Search You Tube for:
Videos of how to enable the built-in administrator account
..and you might find a solution.   Hi Geek,

Thank you. I am able to run the recovery with the enabled built-in administrator account.

Cheers!Glad it worked.
What system? Windows XP?
Sure looks like it...may be Win2K.The lower part of the screenshot looks like Windows 7. The upper part has $HomegroupUser$ in the list- that suggests Windows 7 SINCE that is when MS added Homegroups.Good catch BC...thanx.Geek, it's a Win 7.

I thought this board is for Windows Vista and 7? 

Cheers ^^
You were in the right place.
