Resetting A Password (a.k.a. change the admin's password)

[wolvrine]

make sure you are logged into a account that has more priviliges than a guest... Power User worked ok for me.

We are going to pretend that we want to change the administrator's password. His username let's say is: admin

In that case:
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type CMD
4. Click OK
! --- <a black window should have opened> --- !
5. Now type the following: NET USER admin *
6. Now change the password to ur desire

And walla ur done!

I know this is easy, but I did this tutorial for the n00bs.
Anyway, This is guaranteed to work 95% of the time.

I have a very powerful program, (small enough to fit on a floppy) that will boot your computer in Linux mode, and then it allows you to change any password, and you don't need to have a account, or enough priviliges

Hey one query,

You said we require any account more than the Guest account but normally nobody is going to give a guest more privilages than what a guest account gives. So I dont see how this works.

You need to be really lucky to have an account on a PC with more privillages than what a guest offers.

That's precisely why it's there.
But you need to be able to get into widows by some means... that too using another account with admin rights.
guest account wont do.

for more .. check the links in this page (scroll down to 'other topics')

u can download a floppy or cd image from *www.loginrecovery.com/ and obtain the administrator password

 

[raghu-RAM]

hey a week before my friend had faced same problem
say the admin account is abc,
my solution:

1.boot in safe mode,it shows another account 'administrator'

2.log into administrator, it wont ask password for this account if you have two os installed and if the other os (other than u r working with) has a account name 'administrator' then type the password of that account of other os. I really dont know why it happens, but it happens.

3.goto control panel, user accounts

4.create another account with administrator privilages, say 'temp'(left to you, keeping a password for this account)

5.restart and boot in normal mode

6.log into 'temp'

7.again goto control panel>user accounts and change the password of your main account , abc

8. then logoff from 'temp' and log into abc, delete the 'temp' account
you are done with it

u can download a floppy or cd image from *www.loginrecovery.com/ and obtain the administrator password

it takes 3-4 days to crack after you have uploaded it(for free)
of course it takes hours if you pay some dollars

[dragonlord]

easiest solution

Boot into dos using NTFSDOS bootable cd/floppy and delete \winnt\system32\config\sam file.Restart system and admin password will be blank.
