9 solutions for forgetting Windows XP login passwords (3)

Method 7 - Using cracked password software (provided you have a standard system installation CD - not the kind of "integrated" D version of multiple systems

1 - Use Windows KEY 5.0 in PASSWARE KIT 5.0 to recover the password of the system administrator. After running, generate 3 files: TXTSETUP.OEM, WINKEY.SYS and WINKEY.INF, 3 The file is 50KB in total. Put these 3 files on any floppy disk, then use the XP installation CD to start the computer. Press F6 during startup to let the system use third-party drivers. At this point, it is the best time for us to cut in, put the floppy disk will automatically jump to the Windows KEY interface. He will forcibly change the password of ADMINISTRATOR to 12345, so why not make a big deal? Hey! When you reboot, you will be asked to change your password again.

2——Use OFFICE NT PASSWORD & REGISTRY EDITOR. This software can be used to make LINUX boot disk. This boot disk can access NTFS file system, so it can support Windows 2000/XP well. Using one of the floppy disks, NTPASSWD, which runs under Linux, solves the problem and can read the registry and rewrite the account. The method of use is very simple, just follow the prompts after startup to do it step by step. Here, it is recommended that you use the quick mode, which will list the user for you to choose to modify that user password. By default, the ADMIN group user is selected, and it is very convenient to automatically find the user who has replaced the name of the ADMINISTRATOR.

3 - ERD.Commander2003 is the administrator and end user of Windows. In the face of systems that may crash at any time, each person may have their own set of tools to save data and repair the system. ERD Commander is the most powerful component of the Winternals Administrators Pak tool. One of the compelling features is the ability to change the password. Any user's password in the Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 system can be used without knowing the original password. The case was modified by ERD.

Method 8 - Modify the

screen saver (provided you have a screen saver)

Use NTFSDOS to write NTFS partitions from DOS. Use this software to make a DOS boot disk, then rename the screen saver Logon.Scr to C:Win NTSystem 32, then copy Command.com to C:Win NTSystem 32 (CMD.EXE can be used under WIN2000), and The file was renamed to Logon.Scr. After 15 minutes of starting the machine, the screen saver that appears should now become the command line mode, and it has the ADMINISTRATOR permission, so you can change the password or add a new administrator account. Don't forget to change the name of the screen saver back after the change.

Method 9 - Use a startup script (provided... will use DOS basic commands)

Windows XP startup scripts are batch files that the computer runs before the login screen appears. It functions like autoexec.bat in Windows 9x and DOS automatically executing the batch file. With this feature, you can write a batch file to reset the user password and add it to the startup script, which is the purpose. The following are the specific steps (assuming the system directory is C:Windows).

1. Start the computer with the Windows 98 boot disk. Create a new file called a.bat under DOS. The content only needs a "net user" command: "Net user rwd 12345678". The meaning of this command is to set the password of the user rwd to "12345678" (for the usage of the Net command, refer to the Windows help). Then save the file a.bat to "C:windowssystem32GroupPolicyMachineScriptsStartup".

2. Write a startup/shutdown script configuration file scripts.ini. This file name is fixed and cannot be changed. The content is as follows:

[Startup]

0CmdLine=a.bat

0Parameters=

3. Save the file scripts.ini to "C:winntsystem32GroupPolicyMachineScripts" "under. The scripts.ini holds the setup data for the computer startup/shutdown script. The file content usually contains two data segments: [Startup] and [Shutdown]. The [Startup] data segment is the startup script configuration, and the [Shutdown] data segment is the shutdown script configuration. Each script entry is divided into two parts: the script name and the script parameter. The script name is saved under the XCmdLine keyword, and the parameter is saved under the XParameters keyword. Here, X represents the script sequence number starting from 0 to distinguish multiple script entries and flags. The order in which each script entry runs.

4. Remove the Windows 98 boot disk, restart the computer, and wait for the startup script to run. The password of the user rwd is restored to "12345678" after the startup script finishes running.

5. After the login is successful, delete the two files created in the above steps.

[In fact, you can borrow another computer to write a.bat and scripts.ini with "Notepad", and then copy it to your computer via DOS using a floppy disk]

Explanation:

The above script uses the FAT32 file system. If you use the NTFS file system, you can mount this hard disk from the disk mode to other computers that recognize NTFS file systems (such as Windows 2000 or Windows XP). Do the above. This method can restore the password of the administrator (Administrator). Password recovery for local computer users and domain users in Windows 2000 systems is also valid.
