Forgot computer password
 

Hey guys, well i have a little problem, i have a older computer that I personally havn't used in a about a year, i passed it down to my little sister, and now i can't remember the password, and she swars she didn't change it. it there anyway to crack a windows log in password?

I really don't want to repration the hard drive because there is old picture that can't be replaced. and people don't put the important stuff in the sharded documants.

please if there is anyway let me know

see if you can access it in safe mode and as administrator or something... :confused:

i am the admin, how would you access it in safe mode, i believe it requires a password as well

try using everything you can. it doesn't lock you out :p ... If not google it, or call MS, I'm sure they have a backdoor fix all password or some sort of "hop on one leg, rub your stomach, pinch your left nipple all while screaming out BILL! BILL! BILL!" tricks. :roll:

wow, thats some funny shit right there!

comes naturally... but it never fails, there is ALWAYS some crazy ass way of getting into things... call MS up, I'm sure they can walk you through it

i might just have to do that... tomorrow...

thank you, i am currently reading the first one! thank you for your quick responces

no problem, let me know how things work out

ctrl+alt+del, twice at the welcome screen and see what happens.

well from what i read, i can use the XP disk and use the repair fuction, and hit shift+F10 when it says Installing Devices. so i will give that a try tomorrow, but i will post if it works or not

so did it work?

Is this XP Home or XP Pro? On XP Home, there is a hidden super admin account. As long as no one set a password, you can get to it by using the following credentials:
User: Administrator
Password: <blank>

This is the account used in safe-mode and only safe-mode. You can change the passwords once you're in via Control Panel -> Users

well the ctrl=alt-delete twice didn't work and now i have to relocate my instaill disk

and i believe it was XP pro,but im not quite sure
