    Great info Yudi!


    But friends be very careful while using these techniques. Once you type control usernamepasswords 2 or net user username – windows will generate a new randow password instantly. Do note that down on a piece of paper or something else you may end up with your windows locked with a password that you never knew.


    In that particular case you will be left with only two options.

    1. reinstall the windows – that will ruin all the data you have in current drive

    2. Or crack that password with linux based software that isn’t easy to find

    1rd Method:
    Try following trick which is actually a loophole in Windows XP Setup and a big security hole:

    A. Boot using Windows XP Setup CD and follow the instruction like Accepting EULA, etc.

    B. When it asks to repair your existing Windows installation, accept it and press “R” to run the repair.

    C. Setup will start repairing your Windows and will start copying files, etc.

    D. After a few minutes setup will restart your system and when it restarts don’t press any key when it shows “Press any key to continue…” otherwise Setup will start from the beginning. Don’t press any key and setup will resume where it left.

    E. Now it’ll start doing other tasks and will show a small progressbar with a few details in left side.

    F. Look carefully at the details and when it shows “Installing devices”, press +F10 keys in your keyboard.

    G. It’ll open a Command Prompt window. Now type nusrmgr.cpl and press .

    H. It’ll open the same “User Accounts” window which you see in Control Panel.

    I. Now you can remove or reset any account password without any problem.

    2th Method:
    There are many 3rd party utilities which claim to recover forgotten Windows password:
    The program that I recommend is the Windows Password Key 8.0. It is a very quick and useful utility for resetting passwords. It not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password.
    Just an easy to use bootable CD/DVD . It can also be used on a USB Flash Drive. http://www.lostwindowspassword.com/

    lost windows password ? you can go into safe mode (F8 when booting up) to recover windows password when you forgot user account password,but if you forgot administrator password ,there is no way to change administrator password when you forgot it,you must use software to recover administrator password .my favorite is Reset Windows Password 1.3
