I have a Dell laptop running Windows Vista Business. I lost my Administrator Password on it when my organizer software crashed.
Now, when I try to uninstall and reinstall Mozilla Firefox I was prompted to key in the password. I have installed it several times, but was never required to provide the password. But as I realized not having the password now I can’t reinstall the Mozilla Firefox.
Is there any way to recover the password or resolve the problem?
