More appropriate for the beginners section since there is a number of cd's and and methods to do this. Look for such things like NTFS Dos. I actually believe that IllWill has completely written an application for this, using a single Diskette.

This is helpful when you have permissions to change the old password instead cracking it.

its the admin pass that got screwed up so how do i get permissions?

[fulvioo]

I meant permission from the owner of the box to change the password, not windows admin permission :)

You should use Knoppix

knoppix-std lets u overwrite the old pass on ntfs disks.
there's a tutorial: http://www.governmen...topic=15036&hl=

fulvioo thanks i am probably going to use it, but do you have a simpler program? (that works on ntfs fat and fat32 like this one)

resetting a windows xp home admin password is easy. first, if the account is "a" administrator, and not "the" administrator, sometimes you can reboot to safe mode and login as "Administrator" with no password. logging in as this and going to control panel > users you can add/remove any password. another option is to get a windows xp disc and boot from it. after pressing "f8" to agree to the microsofts bullcrap EULA, you will have a "repair this windows installation" option. repairing will "reisntall" windows without deleting any programs. after the repair is complete it will prompt for general setup options such as time zones, etc... and it will ask you to choose a new administrator password. the last option which has already been touch on in other messages is to crack the password or use a 3rd party password extraction tool.

if none of these options work you should consider reinstalling the hdd as a slave in another system where you have administrative privileges to access the files you need. good luck

Wow yall made me confused. The cd you heard about is Emergency Boot CD-ROM, version 0.6.1. I use this at work because the last boss made a random password on some machines. Just download the ISO and make the cd. Boot up and it is very easy to use. It does work best if you change the administrator password to BLANK. You can also change any other account that you might want to
