Forgot your windows XP password?

No worries! Nere’s a quick guide on how to reset your password.

1. Restart you computer

2. When booting, press F8 and select “Safe Mode”

3. After getting to the user menu. Click on a user and this time it will not ask you for a password

4. Go to Start>Run and type: CMD .

5. In command prompt type in: cd C:WindowsSystem32, (Where C is your system’s HD letter,I am assuming C is your System/Windows Drive)

6. For safety purposes first make a backup of your Logon.Scr file. You can do this by typing in: Copy Logon.scr Logon.bak

7. Then type: copy CMD.EXE Logon.scr

8. Then type this command, I will assume that you want to set Administrator’s password to NewPass

9. Now, type this in: net user administrator NewPass

10. You will get a message saying that it was successful, this means Administrator’s new password is NewPass

11. Restart the PC and you will login as Administrator (or whatever you chose to reset) with your chosen password

Another method to login to windows XP without your password is to login as administrator. This method not always work. This happens when someone smart enough sets an administrator password upon winXP installation.
But, in 80% of the cases people don’t. Therefore you can do this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del twice in the welcome screen. Then type administrator (for user) and leave blank the password field. This works in Windows XP Professional only; in Home Edition you can only login as admin from Safe Mode.
