I had changed my password on my laptop just yesterday and cannot remember the password, is there anyway I can retrieve my password without taking it to a specialist. I have a Toshiba laptop with windows Vista on it.

I heard it is possible on some laptop, and you will just have to play with these 3 keys :
F10-F11-F12 one of them will bring you to a security screen with tabs at the top that give you the choice to change you administrator password.

If it's BIOS password then some models just take out the battery.

Windows password then:

home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd

Boot up in safe-mode and then bypass user logon by pressing the escape key (which is something you can't normally do if you boot up the regular way...unless, of course you never selected a password since the OS was initially installed). Once in: click 'start'/control panel/user account and then either enable 'guest' or create a new user account.

Remove/reset lost Toshiba Windows password you can use Windows Password Rescuer, it can reset/remove Windows 7/vista/xp/2008/2003/2000 password instantly.

I highly recommend [Daos Password Recovery Bundle 2012].[Daos Password Recovery Bundle 2012] is an all-in-one password recovery software, which recover password for Windows, Excel, Word, Access, PowerPoint, Outlook, RAR/WinRAR, ZIP/WinZIP, PDF etc. Over 70+ types of passwords can be recovered instantly.

I believe probably the easiest and safest way for you is remove your Windows OS Passwords with Windows Password Recovery tools. I found a good one at http://www.reset-windows-password.com

You can reset the password with password reset disk if you have one created in advance. If not, you can use Windows Login Recovery software to recover your password. Free download Windows Login Recovery here:
