I have a bunch that I always use and even thought I wrote it down but none seem to work. is there a way I can get into the computer by passing the password to change it? windows xp

hey squid...this comes from one of my IT guys in the office. hope it helps....


here is a link to a couple good password recovery tools

I would recomend he reads this link before using password recovery tools

a few tips on helping him remember

also ask him if anyone other than him has ever logged into the pc with seperate credentials. Im guessing no but it is worth a try. if so that person can reset the password for him

Squid check this out, to do this you will need to login under another user or a guest. If you can do that then you can change your own password....
