(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: ediot
A friend of mine called me last night while I was driving home from work and asked me "if there is a way to enter Windows XP without entering a password?" Obviously he have forgotten his and is trying for the last two weeks to remember it. . Well I told him I will get back to him today.
I am asking you guys does anyone know how this is done, deleting a system administrator password from Windows XP without booting up the OS?

Well guest what I have just found something on the Windows Xp forgotten password problem?
a) Do a boot to the system prompt using NTFS or FAT disk set.
b) Run the syskey utility and Update by selecting the appropriate selection
I have not tried it on the system but the utility "syskey" seems ok to me
Have anyone tried this before?

If its an end user home PC, chances are the administrator profile still is enabled/unchanged and you can get in by typing in "administrator" in the username and leaving the password blank.
From here you can go into users and change the password for any profile. Now if this person knowns what they're doing and changed the admin password, can't help ya there.

I was resistant to replying to this thread earlier. But, what your really asking for is a way to hack the administrator password no matter how the question is phrased.
Although there are a lot of sites out there that'll help you do it, I don't think this is the site to get answers to that question.
