getting into a windows account.

TimBlanchard · 02-12-2007, 01:19 PM

Hello

I have this laptop that has an adminisator account on it, but it has a password at the windows xp log in screen. Is there anyway to get past this?

many thanks

tim

Before attempting to crack the password, try the obvious options: "admin", a blank password (jut hit enter) and any other you might think of.

nope, didn't work

Did you install the current version of Windows? Has someone ever used the administrator account?

no, i didn't install the version of windows and i don't know if anyone has ever used the admin account, they would have to install all the apps because the laptop came with MS word etc...

Ah, I see. I don't know if it's possible to hack an account password, though. I'll look into it.

Do you have an XP CD? If so, try this.

Scroll down about halfway to a post by an51r. Follow the directions. This trick works.

there's a unix/linux password reset cd that we use at my work
see if you can get your hands on one of those bad daddies
they work like a champ

knoppix might be able to handle this too...
