Okay, so this could be slightly embarrasing, but, I'll tell you the problem and see if you can help...
So, today I set a new password on my computer. Now I can't remember it, and I don't have a "Password Reset disk" (whatever that is). The sheet that has it on there was mistaken for garbage by somebody else, and was thrown away.
Right now I am on the Guest account, thank goodness I created that. Anyway I do have MSFSX on this account too but I'm not sure if it has all the necessary downloads and things like that, and most of everything on here is password protected, by my password.
Any help, please besides giving me advice about hiding the paper i have my password on better?
Edit: I can't use FSX since it's not activated on this account, which requires the administrator's (my) password. So forget about the whole thing about MSFSX.

Or what you can do is run it in safe mode

Nope, none of those work and there is no safe mode to start up on. I'm using Vista.
I will try to research as much as I can too.
Edit: I found the Microsoft support topic on my exact "scenario", and it told me to use the Vista disk to repair it using "System Restore Point".

No, none of that is working. Before you try another way, which version of Vista do you have? Is it the 32-bit or 64-bit? I'm using the 32-bit.

Okay, guys. I'm back to normal. I found my Vista disk, so I was able to load from a System Restore Point.
Thanks for your help and effort.
