Windows xp forgotten administrator password, no password reset disk, how to get into windows without it?

Step 1 a) if the disk is in fat 32 format then boot form 98 Boot the then STEP 2 b) if disk is in Ntfs formast attact the hard drive to another computer with secondar7y and boot the computer from primary operating system should be above windows 2000 Step 2 got to windows/system32/config Step 3 delete the sam files on the folder boot the computer with the orignal disk.

On another computer, do a search for an image of the "ultimate boot cd" or try bootdisk.com. Download an ISO CD image, and burn it to CD. Search the FAQ's associated with the utility. Basically, you're going to make a bootable CD that runs a version of LINUX. This image also has drivers to access the NTFS file system on the hard drive of the machine with the lost password. Use the registry tool to then overwrite the old administrator password with a blank password. Remove the bootable cd, re-boot the subject computer, and log in with the administrator ID and a blank password. Immediately change the password to something else. Note: it may be necessary to change your BIOS settings on the computer so that the boot sequence attempts to boot from the CD BEFORE the hard drive.

Unfortunatley.....you can't....you may as well reformat. You can try using "administrator" as the username and nothing for the password. Good luck......gilzo

You can do a repair install of Windows XP which will wipe out the passwords but leave your programs and data untouched.

buy a new full version of windows XP, a new HD... boot off of the XP's cd and make the new HD your boot disk... I'm not sure if you will be able to recover any data on the old one... you can try installing it as a slave.

there's no way, just restore windows with the setup CD and choose a new password. In future always put 2 accounts with administrative privileges. One is default "Administrator" and the other you can create by any name (with admin. rights) dont keep the same passwords for the both accounts.

Ouch. Get another hard drive, format it, install XP; set-up original as slave drive; get the information you need. Pray the drive wasn't encrypted or you'll be pretty much SOL.

Open CPU Cabinet on mother board you will find Round battery cell remove and fix it back, the passwords you have given will reset. Now boot your computer you can give new password.
