You are at the command line prompt which allows you to enter DOS like commands to fix your system.  I suggest you read up on the available commands (such as fixboot and chkdsk) before you do anything as there are a number of options but you really should understand what needs to be done before you use the command line to repair your system.

This can be a awkward one – you have various options\n\n1.Try logging into safe mode and logging as administrator – sometimes windows does not assign a password to the administrator\n\nIf this doesn’t work\n\n2.If you have data on the pc that is valuable, try searching yahoo or google for programs that can retrieve your password – but BEWARE these can be very expensive and CAN NOT guarantee to retrieve your password and may corrupt you master boot record or the registry and may stop your pc from starting\n\n3.  If you don’t mind losing your data – you can do a system recovery on your pc.  It all depends on your system if you have a hard drive recovery of a cd/dvd recovery.  If you have a HDD recovery some systems have a option of a non destructive recovery which MAY save your data.  Check your pc documentation – either of these recovery options will delete the password and will restore your pc to as if it has come out box brand new and no password will be applied to the sign in account.  Bit drastic but at least gets your pc working again.

if your running xp, you can click on runt and type in control userpasswords2 and click on ok.\n\nthere would be a new display on the screen, there will be a new screen, if you then click on the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer tickbox. \n\nand press ok it will ask you to type in your current password, as yours is blank, just click on ok, and click on ok to close the window.\n\njob done, next time you restart it should auto logon.

if you are the administrator then you could be screwed on this and the answer is to reformat.   If you arent the administrator then you can  click on the question and get option to put in the administrator id and password or try booting from the windows xp disk.  You can sometimes get this to work if it is not the adminstrator account.  You can to www.bootdisk.com and find solutions.

Restart your computer in safe mode, i.e\n--- When the computer turns on keep tapping the "F8 key" until you see "Advanced windows menu options"\n---High light "Safe Mode" With your up and down arrow keys and push enter. (If you are using XP you have options as "Safe Mode with networking" Where you can access the internet in safe mode.)\n---Then select the Operating system\n---Now in the login page you will have your default "Administrator account" and an extra "Administrator account"\n---The default account will ask for an admin password.\n---So select the new Administrator account\nNow you can access the computer and if you have selected safe mode with networking then you can even access internet.\n*Safemode with networking is only for DSL and Cable and will not work for Dial up i.e no internet if you have a dial up connection.\n\nIf you want to change the default administrator password,\nGo to Control pannel -- Usser account -- Change an account --Select your Default admin account and change the password.\n\nNote: Am not sure whether there will be any problem in changing . As it will give you a warning \n"If you do this the Administrator will lose all EFS - Encrypted files , certificates and stored passwords and network resources"\n\nSo dont change the password. Try to do all your works in safe mode.\n\nBest of luck

First of all get Norton Anti-virus, it's the best out there and uninstall the others . Second, to recover your system, try this:\n\n1. Boot up with the WinXP CD and at the Setup Screen press the Enter Key.\n  \n2. You will be taken to the Windows XP Licensing Agreement. Press F8 to proceed.\n\n3. The next screen gives you the option to do a fresh (clean) install or to repair\n     the selected Windows XP installation. To run a Repair Install press "R".\n\n***CAUTION*** if you do not see the option to repair the selected Windows XP\ninstallation DO NOT choose the option to continue installing a fresh copy without\nrepairing as that will overwrite your data and cause unrecoverable data loss.\n\n4. If you originally installed XP with Service Pack 1 and later installed Service Pack     2,  you will need to re-install Service Pack 2.\n\n5. If you have any Microsoft Office products installed,  you will need to re-activate\n    with the Product Key code. Contacting Microsoft may be required.

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

the software they are talking about has to be on a floppy then when you boot your pc, you can reset the password. I hope this link can help you. http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm#20\nOr if you can boot to safemode (pressing f8 while booting) go to start the run and type  control userpasswords2 and reset admin password.
