restart the computer and while the computer is loading press F8, then enter in safe mode. hopefully u did not choose any password for your adminiastrator.\n\nhttp://www.loginrecovery.com/image.exe\nhttp://www.loginrecovery.com/\n\nThis site provides a tool to recover lost Windows XP passwords. It works for administrator and user accounts, it doesn't change the password just tells you the old one. It works with encrypted files (EFS) and password hashes. It even works if no passwords at all are known for the machine (as long as you have another computer with internet access to view this website with). \n\nAuthor claims it also works with Windows NT and Windows Server 2003 and Windows Longhorn, but the BEST thing about it is the fact that it won't reset your passwords, but simply reveal them for you to remember and then use. \n\nGive it a try. The author would like to receive feedback. There is a free service as well as a priority service that will retrieve your passwords within minutes. The fee for the priority service is very cheap, and is really just to cover server costs.\n\nNote: You'll need a blank floppy to run the process.

the software restore disks actually have a "password reset" option within the disk utility.  Give that a try by booting up into the CD (not your HD).

well call your isp then and say you forgot it, and they will change it for you after passing a few security checks to make sure they are speaking to the account holder. \nif your using anything windows 2000 or xp u can download a pwl viewer program that will show all stored passwords in windows.

Just pop in the XP boot disk and this should get you started! But f you don't get that far, well, check the jumper and take off the little cover, that will clear the password.

If there is a cd-rom in the computer in question, you can just reset it. 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

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. You can contact me by clicking on my name and ...

Depends on operating system, your level of access, and your level of computer knowledge. If you are the computer Admin, previous suggestions by others will work. If you aren't, contact the computer Admin and have them reset it or use the backup-recovery disks that should have been made to reset the password. You can find hacking tools or websites that will recover passwords for you. Last resort, reinstall operating system, updates, and programs.

Unfortunately DELL won't be able to do much for you except maybe ship you the re-install disks.  You can try safe mode to reset the password.  You can also try logging in as administrator with no password or with admin as the password.  Sometimes it is that simple.\n\nKnowing what OS I might be able to give you a few more ideas.

When you first got this desktop was it locked with that or did you install the option for that? If you installed it then i'm going to assume it's the one that is in the control panel in windows XP. If this is all the case then to log on you need your correct username and password and you will have to enter them rather than useing windows xp (remembering) system. If you know your password then try useing the "Administrator" username try uppercase Administrators" and lowercase "administrator" if that doesn't work try "admin" and "Admin" if you don't know your password then(assuming you have windows xp) try doing a system restore on your computer by pressing F8 when your system starts, keep pressing F8 till a menu appears then "System Restore" should be somewhere on that list.  Hope i'm somewhere on the right track here.

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 have the perfect solution for you!\nI have a CD that can break Windows XP/2000/NT passwords !\nYou can also search on internet/google for the same CD.\nIt is actually a linux kernel, which boot up the machine and allows you to reset the password. It is specially designed for that purpose. Hope this will give you some hint  :o)

Try the offline Windows NT Password Editor.  Or alternatively try booting into safe mode and typing in administrator at the login prompt.  A lot of the time that USER ID has no password but can usually only be accessed by booting into safe mode
