durung your startup, when the screen changes from the bios/post screens repeatedly hit F8 - this should bring you into safe mode. Without a password, or password breaker, there is no real way in through the GUI.\nyour only hope would be to either try the safe mode option or just command prompt, and if you're old enough like i am, you can use DOS to route around, but any security placed on the files will remain even in dos mode, if the HDD is NTFS

To get into the Windows 2000 / XP Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.\n\nWith some computers if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message. If this occurs, instead of pressing and holding the "F8 key", tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu.\n\nTo get out of safe mode: From Windows Safe Mode click Start / Shutdown and restart the computer. This should start the computer automatically back into Normal Mode.

Check www.sysinternals.com  they might have a floppy disk program that will retrieve the password (if you have physical access to the machine)

Most computers also allow for a password to be set at the BIOS level.  To bypass it, they'd have to physically open the case to your computer.

If you are using XP, you go to Control Panel, then User Accounts, and create a password for your account.

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)

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.

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

Disconnect the internet before doing this. \n\nwhile booting up your pc, press F2 or F8 or DEL depending on your BIOS. \n\nThen choose to enter "Safe Mode".\n\nOnce the winxp log on comes up, choose "Administrator". \n\nnormally there should be no password. If there is a password then only a person who created that password can unlock the PC. Else, reinstall the entire OS. \n\nOnce you are pass through the log on and once the computer starts up completely. \nGo to Control Panel - Users and remove or change YOUR password (the other users password, NOT ADMINISTRATOR)\n\nRestart and log on normally.

if you want to log into their computer remotely, use remote desktop connection under accessories.  if you want to spy on them without them knowing, use a program like VNC viewer to view exactly what they are doing-live.  there are lots of programs out there that will do this for you. \n\nRemote desktop software has been around for a long time, and Windows XP Professional even comes with a version that's integrated directly into the operating system. While it's supposed to be a fairly straightforward process to get it up and running, there are still some interesting caveats, most notably the need for Windows XP Professional. If you're not running XP Pro you have to look for other solutions, of which there are a variety of free and pay ones available.\n\ncheck out links below in that order. good luck!

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)\n\n    2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from cd”\n\n    3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.\n\n    4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now\n\n    5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.\n\n    6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.\n\n    It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”\n\n    Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.\n\n    7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.\n\n    8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”\n\n    9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.\n\n    10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.\n\n    11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.\n\n    12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).\n\n    13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

Windows XP stores passwords in a file (database) called SAM. This file can be found on Windows->system32->config; however this file can only be accessed offline and all its contents are encrypted. There are many ways how to get to this file and get your passwords out of it.\nHere is more info:\nhttp://www.hackinthebox.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=5721&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0\ngood luck

Do you mean the password from windows? Open the configuration screen click on user accounts beware you must have administrator rights. When you mean the password from the pc (mainboard) remove the battery for 4 seconds put it back (beware you must know what you are doing don’t change things what you don’t know for sure)

dun believe that XP administrator's password can be broken that easily. If u forgot your admin password, u can log in as user and check if the user account has admin right, if u have u can change the admin passord - otherwise u may have to reinstall XP all over again if u r not able to access the system as u dun have a password.\n\nThe only way to obtain the XP admin password is to a floppy with system to boot up or dismantle the hard drive,connect it to another pc, and extract the user or admin registry file - administrator.dat and the system key file and using very good password cracking software to break and obtain the password which is also not easily done if the password is a strong password.\n\nU can engage computer forensic people to do it but it is expensive....
