Forgot XP login password and can't log in to system

  

Q: Since I used one account A to log in to Windows XP for a long time, I forgot the login password of another account B I set. What should I do?
Answer : In this case, you can use the login password of account B to solve the problem.
1. If the account you are currently able to log in has administrator privileges, just log in with that account and change the password for account B in the “user account" in Control Panel.
2. If Account A does not have administrator rights, you cannot directly modify the passwords of other users. However, we know that in the process of installing Windows XP, the default is to log in as "administrator", and then ask to create a new account, so that when you enter Windows XP, you can log in with this new account, and also in the Windows XP login interface. Only the created user account will appear, and “ldist;administrator” will not appear, but in fact the “administrator” account still exists and the password is empty. Therefore, we can use this to reset the password. On the Windows XP login interface, hold down the Ctrl+Alt key and then press the Del key twice to display the classic login screen. At this time, type “ldist;administrator” at the user name, and the password is empty to enter the system. You can modify the password for “zhangbp”.
3. If you created a password reset disk when you created account B, then this little software will work. The method is very simple, just insert the password reset disk into the floppy drive, click the right arrow next to the login window account B, and then click the password reset disk in the pop-up prompt box, follow the pop-up "password reset wizard" ; prompt to change your password and start your computer. Need to be reminded that after changing the password, we do not need to re-create a new password reset disk, no matter how many times the password is changed, this disk is valid.
Tip: Create a password reset disk: Click “Start”→“Control Panel”→“User Account" in the task bar, select the account in the pop-up dialog box. , then click “ block a forgotten password & rdquo; item, then follow the "Forgot Password Wizard" step by step, until you are finished, you can get a password reset disk.
4. With third-party password recovery software
There are many password recovery software available today, such as Windows XP/2000/NT Key, etc. It can help you recover forgotten or lost Windows XP/2000/NT operating system boot password. You may wish to find it online. These tools are relatively simple to use, and we won't go into details here.
