Re: xp password bypass

If you have XP Home them there is a hidden Administrator account that has no
password. Restart the computer into Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key during
system bootup. You should get a Boot menu to select Safe Mode from. You will
see the Administrator account. Select it to get to the Safe Mode Desktop. Go
to Control Panel->User accounts and reset your password for the account you
normally log on with.

If you have XP Pro then you will need to reset the Administrator password
from outside of Windows. Download this program and follow the instructions

version is easier to use than the floppy.
