Forgot admin password

Anyone know how to bypass an admin password on Windows XP Service Pack 2?
I'm trying F5 and Safe Mode, but nothing's working on this second machine...

Try typing in administrator 😁

It’s pretty straightforward... just ask the admin for the password 😁
Actually, there is a way... using a specific program you put on a thumb drive or even an old floppy disk... you boot the system from it, and it just lists every single password stored on that computer...

The F5 key and Safe Mode aren't responding on this specific build...

You might find success by attempting a method like this:
You can reset any user password without needing to know the current one.

To view all existing user accounts:

1) While logged into the computer, click the Start Menu and type CMD.

2) In the Command Prompt window, simply type net users. This will display every single account on the system, including hidden ones.

To change a specific user account password:

1) Once you have accessed the machine using an administrator account, open the Start Menu and type CMD.

2) Within the Command Prompt window, type net user, followed by the username and an asterisk, then hit Enter.
For example: net user administrator * or net user "Joe Biden" *—just ensure you put the name in quotes if there is a space.

3) The system should then prompt you for a new password. Type the new password once and then again to confirm it; if the message "command completed successfully" appears, you have successfully changed the password.

What is the name of that software?

Thanks, but does anyone know how to bypass something like a Comcast Wi-Fi password? My mom changed it and now she only lets me go online for two hours a day. Does anyone know how I can crack the password—not change it, just find out what hers is—so I can get on the internet at night while she's sleeping?😁

Just download a free Keylogger. 😉

It’s the classic fake form trick.
They set up this dummy form that looks just enough like the real deal, and some clueless user types their password right into it. Of course, the form just crashes afterward because it isn't actually connected to the app, but hey, they’ve already got the password saved. Most people just assume they made a typo or hit the keys too fast, so they just type it again—this time into the actual legitimate form—never even realizing their password was stolen in the first place.

Thomas Hernandez21 said:It’s actually pretty easy. Just set up a Keylogger. Fire it up before the old man types in his password so you don't lose track, and boom—you've got full access to the account. 😁

I actually have that software, but I have no clue how to use it!

Read what Mom thinks

Way to go. Seriously, we could really do without the mindless comments. I don't need responses that sound like they came from a ten-year-old. Alright, Karen Garcia5, I think I finally figured out how to toggle it on and off! 😁 I see an option here to search through my history, too. Anyway, I'll get the hang of it. Thanks for the help. 🙂

The F5 key and Safe Mode aren't doing anything when I try to boot up...

ERD Commander

I was running Windows XP Professional when I accidentally set a password that I can't seem to recall. It’s that initial login prompt that pops up right when you boot the machine; does anyone know how one might actually bypass or crack a password like that?

Like I mentioned earlier—and I do believe I was quite clear on this point—you just need to boot from an ERD Commander 2005 disc. Once you're running from that CD, there is a specific option provided to simply reset and set a new password.

I have to ask, what exactly do you mean by "booting" or how does that even work?
