My son (6 yrs old) was playing on our computer and he set up and then
forgot a password and now no one can use the computer. We have tried
everything and it appears he just randomly pushed keys and can't figure
out what he pushed. Is there any easy solution to this? Oh yeah, I was
the system administrator and he somehow deleted my entire account off of
the log in page...
Here is an easy way to crack any password on XP...
The only thing you need is a XP Pro CD and a valid Serial#
1.Boot off the CD and do a Repair (not from the recovery console)
2.Setup will copy all the dll's... then your pc will restart and start the
next step of the repair(were it give's you all bunch of info about XP)
3.On the left side of your screen you'll see the progress bar
4. As soon as you see "Installing Devices" press Shift+F10
5.This will open a command prompt.
6.from the command prompt, type nusrmgr.cpl
7.This command will open the user profile were you can reset any password
(including the administrators)
8.After you reset the password, simply close the user profile window and
the command prompt and let the setup finish the install.
9.That's it, as soon as the install is done your password will be reset
and you'll have access to everything.
This may look a little complex but as soon as you'll do it once you'll see
it's easy. Do not forget, you now need to update your pc, since you just
lost all the updates if you had any.
Now, do you feel safe with your piece of crap XP?
try http://www.ubuntu.com
Pah! The root password (or any account password) on this (and indeed any
Linux) is just as easily deleted, once you know how. Unlike Windows, you
don't need to run any external utility to achieve this, the tools are
already built in.
