Windows 7

[Doubleringer]

Unable to log into Windows 7 with my normal Password, now it won't let me in, I have a Password backup (memorystick), at the logon screen, this works, but it won't let me change my password, when I click on "Reset Password" this the second time this has happened, last time I had to re-install Windows 7, oh! well looks like it's back to slow old Vista then. Even the MS automated telephone service is no use.

any takers

Users in the administrative group can always take ownership of anything regardless of what user or permission they have set for that file or folder, it all depends on this local Sec policy setting as to what group has unrestricted security access

You need to be trying this in the Local Group Policy editor...
