Forgot Your Password On XP?

1st tip

1. Restart you computer

2.When booting, press F8 and select "Safe Mode"

3.After getting to the user menu. Click on a user and this time it will not ask you for a password

4.Go to Start>Run and type "CMD" (without the quotes).

5.At command prompt type in
"cd C:\Windows\System32"
for 9x/XP

or
"cd C:\Winnt\System32"
for NT/2000

(without the quotes), I am assuming C is your System/Windows Drive

6.For safety purposes first make a backup of your Logon.Scr file.. You can do this by typing in "Copy to Logon.scr to Logon.bak" (without the quotes)

7.Then type "copy CMD.EXE Logon.scr"(without the quotes)

8.Then type this command, I will assume that you want to set Administrator's password to "MyNewPass" (without the quotes)

9.Now, type this in (I am assuming that you are still in the directory C:\Windows\System32) , "net user administrator MyNewPass" without the quotes

10. You will get a message saying that it was successful, this means Administrator's new password is "MyNewPass" (without the quotes)

11. Restart the PC and you will login as Administrator (or whatever you chose to reset) with your chosen password

for this tip to work, the user account u are using should have administrator privilages, otherwise it wont work!!!!!

finish ^-^


2nd tip

CIA Commander can change the admin password to whatever you want.

or

ERD Commander from Winternals will do it also. It can't reveal the password, just changes it to whatever you want.



3rd tip

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (freeware; based on Linux)

You can also do it with "Windows XP / 2000 / NT Password Recovery Key" (frop Passware , but it is not free)
http://www.passware.net/#list_xp

This will change password to "12345" ...
