Answer / annyyu22
Here is way to recovery a system.
Following information should be used only if its your
system and you have forgotten Windows password. Don't use
this information to access a system which is not yours
wothout permission.
What should you do if you forgot the password of Windows
system? Before you search for recovery CD or USB Flash
Drive,here a few solutions you can try. This method is easy
enough for you to follow.
Method 1: Have a rest and try to remember the forgotten
password.
Sometimes, human being is a little weird. After you have a
coffee, or take a snap, you may found that you suddently
strike your password.
Method 2: Try No Password Administrator Login Backdoor
In Windows XP (not Windows Vista as Administrator account
is not enabled by default), there is built-in Administrator
user account, that has administrative credentials, enabled
by default, and without any password to protect the account
from been access. If you didn’t change this Administrator’s
password, then try to sign in to Windows XP without
password.
Method 3: Reset password from another user account with
administrator credentials
If you cannot log on to Windows by using a particular user
account, but you can log on to another account that has
administrative credentials, follow these steps on how to do
the trick: Log on to Windows by using an administrator
account that has a password that you remember. You may need
to start WinXP in safe mode. Click Start, and then click
Run. In the Open box, type “control userpasswords, and then
click OK. Click the user account that you forgot the
password for, and then click Reset Password. Type a new
password in both the New password and the Confirm new
password boxes, and then click OK.
Method 4: Use software programs.
If you are not a computer technician, or not familiar with
computer system operations, you may feel the above are
unuesful or what I say. So ,here, I would like to introduce
Windows password key 8.0. It creates a password recovery
CD/DVD,USB Flash Drive for home, business and enterprise.
It works perfectly to reset your Windows password. You can
download it from http://www.lostwindowspassword.com
