My neighbour has Windows Vista and has forgotten his password, as it is permanently logged on and never turned off (I did tell him this is not a good idea anyway).

He does not have a ‘reset disk’ as suggested as an option on the log on screen. Is there anything else we can try? He seems to think i’m some computer wizard but i’ve no idea what to do!

The hard drive on my laptop with Windows Vista has died and so I have put in a new hard drive. I now need to install Vista onto the new hard drive, but I have no Vista CD. I cannot access the recovery partition on the old hard drive as it is completely dead?

How do I get Vista onto my new hard drive?

I need to find out how to access the start up programs on windows Vista, want to turn the start up programs off. Could somebody give me idiot proof instructions please as in step by step?

manufacturer settings.

Is it when I boot up I press a keyboard button before Windows loads that will access recovery program or is there a recovery wizard in Windows that I load?
