What should I do if the XP system cannot reset the password?

  

Q: A computer with Windows XP installed in my organization, because the administrator password is forgotten, only one limited user can log in, so I can only try various Method to reset the administrator password. I tried the method of saminside lc5.02 brute force cracking SAM file, and all failed. When I tried to reset the administrator password with ERD Commander 2005, the settings were not successful. I remember that resetting the password with ERD Commander could not be unsuccessful. What happened?

A: Yes, ERD Commander is almost a versatile Windows password reset tool, but the following two places need you to pay attention when using:

1. If this computer joins the domain, Since the domain user password is not local, ERD Commander is powerless in this situation.

2. There is a "Password of at least 8 digits and cannot be a weak password" in the Group Policy settings. If the policy is enabled, you must follow this restriction when you reset the password with ERD Commander. . Some friends tried to reset the password to a short password like "1234" for the sake of simplicity, and the results were unsuccessful. The solution is to choose a complex password of 8 or more digits when the password is reset.
