Windows Lost Password tips.

Lost User Passwords. (Windows XP)

If you have lost or forgotten a user account password in Win XP, simply log in as the computer administrator, and go to control panel, user accounts. Here you will be able to reset the password for any of the systems user accounts.

Lost Administrator Password. (Windows XP)

Slightly more work needed if you lose or forget the Windows XP administrator password.

First reboot Windows XP in safe mode by re-starting the computer and pressing F8 repeated as the computer starts up. Then (in safe mode) click Start and then click Run. In the open box type "control userpasswords2" without the quotes - I have just used quotes to differentiate what you have to type.

You will now have access to all the user accounts, including the administrators account and will be able to reset the lost password.

Just click the administrators user account, and then click Reset Password.

You will need to add a new password in the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and confirm by clicking OK.

All done, you have recovered the lost adminitrators password!

If that?s your only problem, then you probably have nothing to worry about. As long as you have your Windows XP CD, you can get back into your system using a simple but effective method made possible by a little known access hole in Windows XP.

Answer 2

couple of ways:

Most people never set their Administrator account's password, so start in safe mode, and log in as the administrator with no password and you can change your original password to something normal
Other than that you'd have to go the unix route:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
download the tool, burn it on a cd, and follow the instructions, you'll be good to go.

I've used it to recover the password for a few friends.

Good luck

Answer 3

The only other suggestion I can think of is to start your computer in safe mode an reset your computer back to a time before you put this password on.
