The 3rd method (1st two being to to reset it via an administrator, or dumping the password list) is to create a new password. Then hash the new password, and then dump the password into the registry over the old one.
Although the admin reset method is the easiest. This post has been edited by MCSESubnet: Mar 21 2007, 07:36 PM |

Isn't this the same thing as changing the password by going to Control Panel > User Accounts? The only difference is that your version takes longer and is harder to remember. This is totally pointless...

...I had to do the same at work a few months ago but since I didn't hear about the MMC back then we did it the "dump password file->brute force it"-way. Maybe we could make it an extensive tutorial covering both methods? "my way" is especially useful if you're locked out of the admin account... (anyways, I don't have this problem anymore with my personal computer - I can just boot from a live-CD, chroot into my hard drive and change the password Can you please tell me how did you do that ( dump password )? I have a problem with a computer at which I don't remeber all characters from password ... and I don't want to reinstal Windows Xp ( SP2) at this time. Thank you! |

I can't pay a compliment to the mothod,there are also many other ways to reset password.
for example,click "start"--"run"--type"cmd"---type"net user administrator yourpassword".everybody knows that~ |

Cool tutorial. Thanks for the information. I am also able to just boot off a live CD if I lost my password/username.
@ BuffaloHELP: You should've said "u r smarter then that" |

Eh kind of long . I like my way though. Start>Run>Cmd>Net user (username) *
It will then ask you to type in your password. Then once more for confirmation . |

Well that is a great tutorial! It can be extremely helpful if one messes or around or really forgets his password! It would also be cool to do that in front of your friends..hehe...
Thanks for it mate |
