Somtimes we forget our windows password. We don't have any way other than to install everything fresh, or do we have a few methods to recover or reset. Yes we do, follow the three process explained below ...
Process 1:
Whenever we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” by default and sets its password to blank. So Start your system and press ctrl+alt+del keys together twice when you see Windows Welcome screen or Login screen, and it’ll show Classic Login box. Once the Logon box is displayed type Administrator in Username and leaving the Password field blank press Enter. You should be able to log in to Windows.
Now reset your account password from Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts.
Process 2 :
Windows XP and next versions also allow another process to recover/reset forgotten password by using “Reset Disk“. always create a Password Reset Disk while installing windows or later in a convenient time. You can use that disk to reset the password. Please visit following links to know more ...
If the two process mentioned above doesnot work the try the next process. It is a bit lengthy process but wothwhile if you can recover/reset your password without a complete fresh install.
Process 3:
If the above mentioned tricks doesnt work, then try following trick which is actually a loophole in Windows XP Setup and a big security hole:
1. Boot using Windows XP Setup CD and continue.
2. Accept and press “R” to run the repair when it asks to repair your existing Windows installation,
3. Setup will start repairing your Windows and will start copying files, etc. After a few minutes setup will restart your system.
4. Now it will start doing other tasks and will show a small progressbar with a few details in left side.
5. When it shows “Installing devices“, press Shift+F10 keys together in your keyboard.
6. It will open a Command Prompt window. Now type nusrmgr.cpl and press Enter.
7. It will open the same “User Accounts” window which you see in Control Panel. You can reset your password now.
