Recovering XP Pro Admin Passwords.
    #5817731 - 07/03/06 09:19 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Welp, I help my friend set up his computer which was given to him by his uncle. The problem is, unca can't recall his admin password (he's getting up there and his memory is like a sieve). We also do not have the XP set-up disc, so we're fucked there. Is there some kind of boot disc we can make to recover or reset this? Thanks in advance.  :sun:

"in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption"

Hmm...I don't think this is a Dell, but I'll look into this. Thanks!

http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html works like a charm I've used it many times.

No jumper will reset your Windows password, that's probably in case you lock yourself out through the BIOS.

If you need to recover it, there's nothing better than l0phtcrack or @Stake or whatever they call themselves now.

If you'd rather recover the password than reset it, take blink's advice and use Ophcrack 2.2. It works a treat for most consumer-level passwords (less than 14 characters, limited use of special characters).
