...umm, ur question is really hard 2 make sense of, but from wat i could understand, u lost ur password 2 WinXP and so ur using linux and ur trying to get ur password back. if thats the case then ur only option is 2 reformat (completely erase) ur hardrive and reinstall windows however first get on linux and remove all ur important documents and files onto a flash drive or other device. also to reinstall xp ull need the original xp cd if u dont hav it then ur only options r 2 reformat the drive and either install linux properly or buy another copy of xp and install that instead.
PS we know wat ubuntu is!!!! lol just kidding

i'm very curious with regard to the 20 diverse options. those are frequently domain names. the single you will possibly desire to situation approximately is the single with the parentheses for this computing device. it is what secure mode will default to (this computing device) once you pass into it. Now in case you could log into one among the different domain names there, there is an threat which you will then get get entry to to computing device administration and alter the password for the interior sight administrator, which might make it easier to get into the gadget. There are some brute rigidity courses which could crack the hash on the interior sight passwords, yet once you're apprehensive approximately dropping archives, etc. on the computing device, it incredibly is incredibly helpful to objective this methodology indexed right here. If that works, you will possibly have fewer drivers to re-setting up.

Nice use of linux!
1. 90% of the time, there is no password for "administrator." Try loggin in as Administrator in safe mode and change your user p/w from there.
2. If that doesn't work, google "sc000219.zip". That will guild you to making a boot floppy that will allow you to change passwords (change Administrator).
