    Windows Xp Password Hack

    My friend gave a computer that was once his sisters. She no longer lives in the US, didnt take the machine with her...he has a badass system, so he gave me this comp w/ flat screen monitor. The issue with the machine is that it is loaded with XP...his siter has since forgotten the password....does anyone know a root passowrd or retrival method to get around this? If not, i will just buy a new copy of Windows- cant beat a new comp for free! The comp is less than 8 months old! Definately worth a new OS, but if I could bypass it...so much the better!

    it should ask you for a passphrase or question about the password.

    if it's xp pro, just power it on, then hit F8, run it in safe mode and log on as an administrator. then you have the power to edit logins/passwords or delete/add an account.

    Download Trinity Rescue Kit imgage from http://trinityhome.org/trk/ and burn it to a CD. Boot up computer using the CD. Use the provided script to reset the password.

    Personally I would prefer to reinstall the computer.

    is it a dell if so , call them and give them the express service code and ask for all the disks needed to reformat it to factory condition, since its only 8 months old it may be still under warrenty, but they won't give you the warranty because you are not the original buyer, so tell them you are fixing it for her. then just reformat everything.

    man, u gota turn the computer on the give the following a try

    once you turn it on, continually press the F8 button (i think, and dnt hold the button, press it repeatidly) until u get a list of options. one of these options will be to turn the computer on in safe mode. CHOOSE SAFE MODE!!

    when XP starts, it might ask for a password, hit either cancel or press escape. this will bring you to safe mode desktop, where you will be using it in safe mode but as the administrator. you should now be able to go to the control panal in the start up menu (bottom left) and go to users etc. this shoudld allow you to remove the passwords of the administrtor. when you have done this, shut the computer down then retsrat it and just let it go by itself. it should work from then on, and you can then go back in and make ur own passwords

    let me know if this works

    You have lots of options (as listed above) but I would install a fresh OS. There is nothing worse than working with a computer that has been screwed around with by someone else...

    that will not work on xp pro or 2000 for sure. If that were the case there would be no security. i'm not sure on home cause I never use the consumer version OS ever.

    At a bookstore the other day, I saw a book entitled "Sex for Dummies." Why would someone want to teach dumb people how to reproduce? Aren't there enough of them now?

    When i used to tech support for compaq i had a redneck tell me "'ll tell you how i'm gonna fix this boy. Imma get a godamm stick a this here c4 and shove it in the disk drive and that'll fix the mutherfukker for good.". he was so computer illiterate. i think he did launch it out the back patio window for sure.
