if you forgot your computer password and there is only guest what do you do but you dont know the password?

Question

please i cant update anything becauseof i dont have the administrator password

Answer 1

If you have lost or forgetten the 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.

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 administrators password!

Answer 2

You can use a live password cracking tool like Ophcrack which will bruteforce the password.

If you created a recovery cd you can use that.

If you keep your administrator password backed up in a safe place you can go read it.
