How can I access windows xp professional when the administrator password has been disabled, and there aren't any other users on this computer? I have recieved info on retrieving "forgotten password" but that doesn't help me. At this point all I can access is bios at start up by pressing f2. |

I recently read an article which describes multiple solutions for your dilemma. The article can be found here: http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm Out of this list, I have previously used John the Ripper, just for fun, but if you just need to make a bootable cd to change the Administrator password, there are many utilities reviewed which can do that for you. Thank you for your question! skermit-ga |

I find SAMInside is a great tool to use. All you need a bootable CD or floppy disk set for Windows XP. Just copy the SAM and SYSTEM file(with no extensions) from C:\windows\system32\config\. And transfer it to another working computer and let SAMInsider do the rest. SAMInside DEMO( which is free) wil read out the last 2 to 4 digits of your password and Burtal-Force the rest of it. It will take you 2 hr at max if you computer is not too slow and your password is within 12 digits. |
