Recover the lost administrators password in Win XP
Recover the lost administrators password in Win XP
Slightly more work needed if you lose or forget the Windows XP administrator password.
1.First reboot Windows XP in safe mode by re-starting the computer and pressing F8 repeated as the computer starts up.
2.Then (in safe mode) click Start and then click Run. In the open box type "controluserpasswords2" without the quotes - I have just used quotes to differentiate what you have to type.
3.You
will now have access to all the user accounts, including the
administrators account and will be able to reset the lost password.
4.Just click the administrators user account, and then click Reset Password.
5.You will need to add a new password in the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and confirm by clicking OK.
