ummmmm i dont know if you have xp or if the password in general is the login password or a screensaver password. for the screen saver password hardboot the computer by shuting it down and then turning it back on the change the password. if it is a login password you have to get xp to go to safemode to assess login for the owner. often the is no password there. login there and go to control panel and delete the password for the account in question . then reboot and login to the account and add password. whew

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

Is the password coming up before windows starts ? \n\nIf that is the case then hit f1 , f2 , or del key right when you turn on your computer. This will launch you into the bios settings , then you will see a option to stop it.\n\nIf the password comes up when windows starts then you prob have "fast user switching turn off" turn it on and it will not prompt you for a password. If you are the only user on the machine. This only works for Windows XP\n\nTo turn on fast user switching.\n1. Go to the control panel and click " User Acounts "\n2. Click " change the way users login and off"\n3. Check " use welcome screen and fast user switching

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 ...

hello,\nyou dont need a program, just select which directory you want to make "password protected" .. your host should give this option. If not I would suggest a different host like yahoo hosting which has this option.

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.

Two proposal :\n1- On control panel click on User accounts and define an account yourself and activate password protection for it \nI should say if you are administrator of computer you can do this .Create another limited account for other members of family so they can not use your account at windows start up and they must choose limited account and as an administrator of computer you can save your files on adminstrator folder in documents and settings and your data \nwill be private .you must start your computer in safe mode and activate password for each account except limited acounts that you have created it before for family members.\n2- If your format is FAT32 you can not to encrypt your files or folders but if you format your hard drive as NTFS \nyou will be able to encrypt them.
