Dear Sirs; Thank you very much for having me on your forum . What I am looking for is my lost password. I forgot my password + user name on some machine. Can you send me a way to retrive my password. Thank you + Best Regards; BAK70
It's actually pretty easy. There are 2 ways. First I would try this: Start your computer up, after the first boot screen appears begin tapping F8, once you see a screen selection come up, select safe mode. Once you are in safemode, you will see a users list, Administrator, and your Users. Click on administrator. If there is no password (usually not), then login, go to control panel, users, and change your password. Reset, login to your normal account, and use this password. 2nd Harder, but will work option: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
You never know he might be a pissed employee and now will login into his bosses machine and wipe out all data
damnit, i should of kept my mouth shut.. HAHAAH.. oh well.. remember theres always google: forgot xp password =]
lol.. yeah.. hey, i remember a few years back i did this to my friends computer, said there was no way i could get in to it, and it was as simple as that =].. Well so the world knows, maybe you should protect your admin acct now =]
Hello Kip ; The first method did not work out . Even though on the safe mode. It asks for the user + password. May be my friend forgot his password. Thanks Bak70
make sure you are clicking on administrator, and not your friends account. if you click on your friends account, even in safe mode it's going to ask your password, but administrator should let you in with no problem. If it does not, the 2nd option will work, but take some work.
Be careful when modifying settings in the control panel; randomly changing settings or playing around with them can alter how your computer works as well as the performance, causing unneeded problems. Only change settings if you know what you are doing.

If administrator's password is empty, why need to go to safe mode? Just log in as Administrator and it will be ok?
