Hello fboard, and welcome to the forum. That's a nice tutorial, why didn't you post it in the tutorial sections? There are lots of tutorials concerning this topic, did you made this by yourself, or did you use some info from a site or a book on the net, if so you must quote what you copied from the site or book. Anyway, thank you for the new trick, plus it is not a hack, a hack is something unleagal, but this is perfectely legal.
...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 )
Nice tutorial, but it seems that you can modify anything with the accounts. Change the groups rights , allocate users to certain groups, ... Can be usefull.
thats a great tip friend, but I've a control panel snap-in that helps me to manage the userpasswords, If you are logged into an administrator account then you can use this tool to change tht password of any account you want to change.
Get in to users and groups this way
How To Reset, Retrieve Windows Xp User Password ?
Much quicker than using MMC
Start, Run, then type control userpasswords2, then click Advanced Tab, and then Advanced button, takes you to the same screen but quicker.
Then change password as the original text.

did it really work? Long time ago , I was confronted with the password problem. Finally , my friend Jane introduce the Windows password Reset.It helps me access windows. http://www.resetwindowspassword.com
when u r really stucked out of your admin account then I suggest you should download NT Password cracker. That is a live linux cd which is programmed to change password. You ll get an iso and you need to write it to a cd then boot that cd and a few enters (may be 4 - 5 ) and you r done.
it is wrong to break into anyones account without permission and I take no responsibility for what you do with this knowledge. For educational purpose only.

How To Reset, Retrieve Windows Xp User Password ?
I've been searching for days and hours for the free password reset software. I have even had an IT tech been helping me. He has been very successful at getting the programs they just don't work on my computer for some reason. Trust me I have tried everything. The only free downloads that I do find turn out to be just be a demo or free trial which does not do me any good at actually reseting my passswords. Please, take it from me, DO NOT leave your computer with an ex-boyfriend that actually knows your password and is a decietful little you know what. I finally stumbled upon this site in my last in final attempt at doing this myselp due to the fact that I am very impatient and do not want to wait any longer for anyone elses help. I downloaded the http://ophcrack.Sourceforge.Net/ in a last hope to get this done and over with. And needless to say it worked! Thank you all for posting your successful efforts to solve the same problems. I am taping the disk to the inside panel of my computer so that I will never be screwed again if someone else decides to the same thing or I just flat ourget my own password cause I have been known to do that. So thank you for sharing your information and knowledge with everyone else, especially me. I appreciate it more than words can say. THANK YOU!

Hi all, I'm sure some of you gave a thought to this, why does Vista always show the login
screen when booting? In XP there was an option somewhere in control panel to "assume this user
always login to the computer" or something like that. That way if you used the same user 99% of the
time and wanted to keep a second user as say an administrator you could do so by setting that
option. If you ever wanted to switch to the "hidden" user you could do so with Log Off or Switch
User in Start Menu. Now this is not possible in Vista, the user is given the login screen no ma....
Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by

have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder

If you bought a brand new computer within the past few years, you might have noticed that your
computer shipped with a Serial ATA (SATA) controller instead of the convetional Enhanced IDE (EIDE)
controller. The reason for this is to enhance performance and power management as SATA controllers
and their supported Hard Disk Drives have a higher data transfer speed against their IDE
counterparts. And they are supposed to use lesser amount of power thereby saving you more battery
life in your notebook's battery or UPS as the case may be. If you want to install and run ....
