Changing my password

[mollykins]

If i'm on my user area now but don't know my password and don't have administrator status, can I delete/ change my password with the administrator knowing?

[squarebear]

Obviously not.

[mollykins]

I'm not that good at the technical side of computers but people can hack into government top secret files i'm sure someone can help me techincally hack my own user area.

[squarebear]

Nobody here will help you do that.

[squarebear]

You need to contact the administrator and ask him/her to change your password.

[mollykins]

I'm hacking my own site which i'm clearly already on, so i can get to the setttings page, just not change the password.

[mccfluff]

you're going to have to ask your dad molly

[redcrx]

do not get involved in your parents squabble, Molly.

[mollykins]

he doesn't trust me not tell mum the password, so he's not going to tell me until the chequebook reappears.

I thought we already had a thread about this trivia that nobody could care less about?

"can I delete/ change my password with the administrator knowing? "

Yes.

It's doing without the administrator knowing thats tricky.

[Dris]

Do you have to login from scratch each time?
Thing is -im not clued up either BUT which part of the site are you using for you to have your own password ?
Im the Administrator for this PC (gulp) but I have only had to use the main password occasionally.

SB-youre not funny or clever although I believe youre Quiz nights are good.
She posted for help not an adults poor attempt at patronising another user.
Who couldnt care less about it btw?
Ive had enough of you and your cronies.
Molly I hope you can get help.I did post as i wasnt sure if someone technical was around and would have tried to help.I see Chucks there now.

Dris on the actual computer of AB

I've used the computer twice since he change my user area password and he's logged me in both times.

It's windows vista, when you turn the computer on there was three icons to click on and go onto the area of, now there's two and you need passwords for both, and then you go onto the desktp where icons such as words, internet explorer and LG pc suite are . . . .

[Old_Geezer]

What you need to do is to open up the PC, remove the hard drive, and put it in a large electro magnetic field for an hour or two. This will clear your password and then you can put the drive back and screw up the PC again.

[squarebear]

Careful Geezer and Chuck, you'll get told off.

[ChuckFickens]

I'm also not going to help anyone hack a computer that doesn't belong to them. it's not mollies computer, it's her parents so they have every right to restrict access to it as they wish.

[chelle7272]

Just what I was about to say Chuck.

better go find that cheque book Molly
