Lost Vista Administrator Password
« on: November 26, 2010, 10:35:04 AM »
I reformatted my Dell XPS laptop.  I never changed the default password.  I have no idea what the default password is.  Anyone have any idea what the default password is?  Cannot find anything on the Dell site.

If you formatted there is no default password left....
What exactly did you do ? ?

haha ya ST I've seen a lot of these to. What are you referring to? are you talking about a BIOS password that was set up? or the password that is set up for the administrator account?
