XP Password recovery

j-dogg · 26-August-06, 09:43 PM

I built a PC for a friend and it sat in storage for a long time and she has forgotten the password and expects me to remember it. Are there any programs or utilities that will reset her XP password? She has XP Professional.

Unless they have their entire profile encrypted, you can use a floppy-based utility to blank the password for any user. Do a google search for "NT password floppy" and have at it. I've used these for years.
