Cracking A Much Needed Password
While on my laptop at school, I was typing up an English essay that is due at the end of the semester. The essay has to be over 100 pages, as we have 6 months to do it. I had around 30 of those pages typed, and my laptop just shut down right then and there.
Since my father gave me the laptop a year ago, he says he had to have an account on there, because that was a default account. So when the computer shut down, the file went over to his account, and I've tried looking for it everywhere, and it says it's on his. I just can't access it. I need to get to the file before the end of the week, so I can keep on schedule to finish. Help?
PS: I have Windows Vista, no administrator's password, do not want to use Ophcrack or any rainbow tables, and I have looked on youtube for ways to do this, and I am still unsucessful.
