Personally, I think this question is just a little to vague. To get a useful answer, it would help to know what the password is for? If it is for a program on the computer, which program?

To recover a forgotten Windows password you can first login with your admin password if you have one. But if you do not have you can think to use reset software or free reset program, like Ophcrack.

I think, that the password that you have forgotten is for a comapny website, which is of a pay roll site, where you get the salary information. (As what you stated). Then in that case please consult the HR Department of your office & ask them some infor on the co mail & send a reset passowrk mail, which would be replied with a new password.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

If you have a reset disk at hand, you can reset it directly. But if you don't have one, you can consider using reset third-party tools. For free reset program, you can make use of Ophcrack, you can search it in Google directly. For more powerful reset software, Windows Password Killer is a great choice. It gets many great comments from people. I have used the software before, so I firmly believe that you will be benefit from it if you use it. No need to re-install your system, so you don't need to be worry about your data security. Have a try with that software. Good luck!
