Forgot Your Password On XP?
 

1. Restart you computer

2.When booting, press F8 and select �Safe Mode�

3.After getting to the user menu. Click on a user and this time it will not ask you for a password

4.Go to Start>Run and type CMD .

5.At command prompt type in cd C:\Windows\system32, (Where C put your system�s HD letter,I am assuming C is your System/Windows Drive)

6.For safety purposes first make a backup of your Logon.Scr file.. You can do this by typing in Copy Logon.scr Logon.bak

7.Then type copy CMD.EXE Logon.scr

8.Then type this command, I will assume that you want to set Administrator�s password to NewPass

9.Now, type this in net user administrator MMers

10. You will get a message saying that it was successful, this means Administrator�s new password is MMers

11. Restart the PC and you will login as Administrator (or whatever you chose to reset) with your chosen password
