aight.... I'm going to assume that you are running Windows XP on this.  If you are at the log-on screen, press Alt+Ctrl+Del at the same time and it will bring up a different log-on screen.  Chances are that nobody has set an administrator password on your computer because nobody ever does when they get an OEM computer.  \n\nFrom this log-on screen type the word "administrator" (no " ") as your log-on name and leave your password blank.  Click "ok" and you should be in as the administrator.  \n\nNext, go to control panel and go under user accounts.  You have the ability to remove the password for any account as the computer administrator.  Then just log out of this account, log back into yours (now passwor free) and set up a new one that you will remember.

Did your friend forget his password, want help in recovering it? You cant recover it because in XP, passwords are hashed and stored. But you can reset it. However, brute force technology may be helpfull in recovering passwords. But they will take a long time, sometimes, even days and weeks! So I would recommend you to reset your friends password.\n\nFollow these steps:\n\nFirst start XP in safe mode. If you dont know how to start windows in safe mode, go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315222 \n\nNow, logon to the "Administrator" account which you will not be seeing when you normally start windows.*\n\nGo to control panel, click on your friend's username and click "Change password". Type the new password and reboot your PC. Allow windows to boot in normal mode. When, the welcome screen appears, click on your friend's username and when prompted for password, type your new password.\n\n* NOTE: most of the times, there will be no password for the administrator account. But sometimes, advanced users use to set password for that account too. In that case, you will have to use some software which will modify the file where the passwords are hashed and stored. "Windows NT / 2000 / XP Key Enterprise" is one of such good software. It can be used to reset password. It is a product of http://www.lostpassword.com/\nFor more information, contact me.

Need more info for the question.  What version of Windows are you using?\n\nIf you are using Windows XP, you can go to the Control Panel, and open User Accounts to edit your account.  Set a password for your account and don't give that password to anyone else.  Be sure to write down what it shows for your username though.

Ok, so you say you forgot your Windows administrator's password, huh? Oh well, it doesn't really matter if you did or you just say you did. The fact is that you need to gain access to a computer and you cannot "remember" the administrator's password. \n\nHow can you get out of this situation without formatting and re-installing the operating system?\n\n1- try hard to remember the forgotten password\n2- restore a backed up System State (in Windows 2000/XP/2003) or a ERD (in NT 4.0) in which you do remember the password\n3- using 3rd party tools that will enable you to reset the lost password and logon with a blank password\n\nIf you are looking for password cracking tools that can be used for miscellaneous objectives such as password-protected PDF documents, zipped archives, docs and so on then yahoo pages is NOT the place

I believe if it asks for a password as administrator the normal default password is "administrator."\n\nTry that and see if it works.\n\nGood Luck

The first thing you have to do is create a new limited account.  Not an administrators account and make sure you password protect the administrators account.  Have the users you do not wish to make changes on the computer use the new limited account (and keep the password a secret).\n\nXP Pro has a tooll called Local Security Settings that will allow you make changes to your system. Click Start > Run, type secpol.msc > Enter.\n\nUnder Local Policies click User Rights Assignment. Right-click the policies you want to change, choose Properties and select which access rights.

In Windows XP, there are a few ways to do it, but the easiest is to compress the folder and use the folder's built-in password protection. See this article:\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,110663,00.asp

Although you probably shouldn't do it, if there is a cd-rom in the computer in question, yes you can.  There are several ways to go about doing this.  I would suggest reading the following page & comments.\n\nhttp://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2006/09/02/how-to-hack-into-a-windows-xp-computer-without-changing-password/\n\nYou could also use the backtrack linux distros bootable cd available @ http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack

From the WinRAR screen that shows "Archive Name and parameters":\n1) Click on Advanced tab\n2) Click on Set Password\n\nThere you go!\n\nHowever, if you have a file that someone else pasword protected, you either have to know the password or find a program to "crack" it.
