Re: Can I somehow get the password of the currently logged in user account ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The date and time was 1/16/2008 2:26 PM, and on a whim, Leslie Brooks
pounded out on the keyboard:

A friend defined on his computer to logon WITHOUT having to enter the password.

He logs in automatically as "Administrator".

Now I convinced him to use the logon screen with password.

How can we find out now the current password for the Administrator account which ic currently active (he forgot it)?

If this is not possible: How can we at least overwrite the old password with a new without having to enter the old password ?

Hi Les,

Read here:

I've used the Offline NT Password with success many times, but there are
other options there also.

Report back,
