Easily retrieve your Windows XP login password

  

What if you accidentally forget the Windows XP login password? The following two methods are provided:
Before proceeding with the following tests, you must confirm that you have the right to use this computer, and the Windows XP installation partition should not use the NTFS format. It is best to add a few users that can be used.
Method 1:
1. Start the computer, use the DOS boot disk (such as: Windows 98 boot disk) to enter the pure DOS state.
2. At the DOS prompt, follow the steps below:
cd\\ (switch to the root directory)
cd windows\\system32 (switch to the system directory)
mkdir temphack (create temporary folder
copy logon.scr temphacklogon.scr (backup logon.scr)
copy cmd.exe temphackcmd.exe (backup cmd.exe)
del logon.scr (delete logon.scr)
rename Cmd.exe logon.scr (change cmd.exe to logon.scr)
exit (exit)
3. Restart the computer and wait quietly after the login waiting screen appears. If the screen saver time is not modified, approximately In 10 minutes, the system will automatically start the login screen saver program, but since Logon.scr has been replaced by cmd. exe, the system starts cmd.exe and enters the command prompt.
4. At this time, we can use the command: net user password to change the password.
Assuming that a super administrator's account is Admin, and you want to reset the password to admin, you can use the command: net user Admin admin, you can change the password after you press Enter.
5. Next, do you want to enter the desktop system to see what is on the hard disk? Try entering the Explorer command at the command line prompt. Is it very smooth to enter the Windows desktop?
If you have a normal user account, you can turn it into a super administrator Administrator account by making a small change in the method described above:
Backup logon.scr and usermgr.exe, cmd in the second step The exe is replaced by usermgr.exe, then restarted and waited quietly. This is not the command line prompt, but the user manager. At this point we have permission to add ourselves to the Administrator group.

Method 2
Since Windows XP is first registered as Administrator by default during the installation process, many friends have not noticed setting a password for it, but created a personal account according to the requirements, and then enter the system. Then use this account to log in, and only the created user account appears in the Windows XP login interface, without the Administrator, the actual account still exists, and the password is empty.
Know this principle, you can start normally, after the login interface appears, press Ctrl+Alt, then press Del twice, the classic login screen will appear, then fill in the user name in the user name, the password is You can enter by empty, then you can enter the "User and Password" of the "Control Panel" and modify the password of the user you want to modify.
