well if you havent set a password for the built-in adminstrator account...at the welcome screen hit ctl-alt-del twice which will bring up a logon dialog box..type user:administrator pw:blank and click ok..now goto user accounts in the control panel and reset your password. Hope that helps.\n\nGlad to have helped man. How about giving me a best answer!! Thanks.

Goto safe mode and login as Administrator and then follow this path:-\n\nStart>Control Panel>User Accounts...\nClick on your username and change Password:- Give a new password. It will not ask you for the old one. It will work.......... Believe me.

Before I explain how to recover your password.... answer these questions:\n\n*Are there any other active accounts on the computer?\n*Do you have a floppy-disk drive?\n*Does your keyboard plug into your computer with a purple connector, or is it a USB?\n\n*****************************************\n**These instructions are for Win XP**\n*****************************************\n\nPassword recovery:\n\nFirst try asking your brother. If he doesn't know, follow these steps....\n\n***\nIf there are other accounts on the computer that have administrative access:\n\n>Log onto a different account (you'll have to get their password)\n>Click 'start'\n>Click 'control panel' (if you can't find it, click 'start' then 'run' and type 'control')\n>Double-click 'user accounts'\n>Click on *your* account\n>Click 'change [name's] password'\n>Change the password (hopefully, you won't need the old one....)\n>Try it!\n\n***\nIf your keyboard has a purple connector:\n\n>Restart your computer\n>Repeatedly hit F8 until a black startup screen appears\n>Enter 'safe mode'\n>Log on as 'administrator' (no password)\n>Click 'start'\n>Click 'Control Panel' (if you can't find it, click 'start' then 'run' and type 'control')\n>Double-click 'user accounts'\n>Click on *your* account\n>Click 'change [name's] password'\n>Change the password (hopefully, you won't need the old one here either....)\n>Try it!\n\n***\nIf this is successful & you have a floppy-disk drive:\n\n>Click 'start'\n>Click 'help and support'\n>Type 'password recovery'\n>Click 'search' or 'Go'\n>Follow the directions for creating a password recovery disk\n>With a password recovery disk, you can change the password without logging on, and without knowing the old password. (keep it hidden!!)\n\n***\nIf none of this worked:\n\n>Restart your computer\n>Repeatedly hit F8 until a black startup screen appears\n>Enter 'safe mode'\n>Log on as 'administrator' (no password)\n>Click 'start'\n>Click 'Control Panel' (if you can't find it, click 'start' then 'run' and type 'control')\n>Double-click 'user accounts'\n>Click 'delete account'\n>Follow the directions for deleting an account\n>Be sure to keep all documents, folders, and internet favorites!\n>Click 'create a new account'\n>Make a new account for yourself with a different name\n>Before restarting, move all of 'my documents' into your new account. (They will probably have gotten moved onto admin's desktop when old account was deleted)\n>Restart computer and log on new account\n\n*******\nSorry it was a little vague in some places..... if you need extra help or don't understand these directions, e-mail me at Duckyquack2007@yahoo.com -- make sure you put something in the subject line that will tell me who you are and what you want.... no subject line / confusing subject line   =   message is deleted without being opened.....\n\nI HOPE THIS HELPS!\n\nGOOD LUCK!

If you have entered setup password and forgot it you can't enter into the system and also you can't remove it in system.To remove it you have to open the CPU panel identify the battery on the motherboard,remove and rub it.All the passwords set will be erased.If it doesn't work replace the battery.Hope this helps.

how did you then asks here?\n\nDid you have any system change recently, installing new programs? OS Updates? etc?\n\nAre you sure that you remembered the pass correctly?\n\nAre you sure that someone has robbed your account?\n\nHave you tried the retrieve password function?\n\nDo you remember your secret question?

Hi, this can occur if you have not designated an admin password during install.\n\nyou can do this by going to start>settings>control panel>users and passwords\nset up that "users have to enter a password" This will allow you to do just that..\n\nWhen you are done, uncheck "users must enter password"  this way windows will continue to log you on as usual...\n\nhope that helps.

The password is probably a boot password. You will need to take out the battery on your motherboard. Wait like 5 seconds before you place it back. This will clear the CMOS and the password.

Sounds like you accidently provided the wrong password when you changed it. Just try logging in through "forgot password." They'll reset the password for you.

Delete everything permanently from your computer, reinstall XP.\n(don't put a password again)

This is a dangerious setting, please make sure that what you are going to do is legal in your system.\n\nFirstable, restart your PC;\n\nSecond, After your PC has checked its hardware and before your Operating System is loaded, please press F8 until the system loading mode apear;\n\nPlease check the "Security Mode" or other labs like this. and then entry your OS.\n\nAfter this step you will see more than one Administrator Account on your Screan. one is default account which doesnot have password. \n\nLogin as that super-Administrator then change your administrator's password in Control paniel, or just creat a new administrator account for yourself.\n\nlogout and normally re-login as that changed administrator. And do what you want to do.\n\nGood luck!
