So... I didn't use my desktop all summer (used my laptop instead) and now have forgotten the password to my account in Windows XP Professional.

How do I bypass this and reset my password?

I forgot mine once, so I entered a wrong password on purpose, hit cancel when it asked me to try again, and it let me access my desktop anyway. Maybe your system is more strict.

:laugh2:

Same thing happened to me before. If I remember correctly, I entered into safe mode, which it let me do without entering a password, and reset the password from there.

To enter safe mode I believe it's F8 while the pc is loading.

Victory is mine. Took me an hour, but after some research... found a good password hacking program and found my password.

Awesome.

Was really scared there, for awhile...

Its a pretty safe program; I looked into it before I used it. Its pretty well known... a friend also told me he has used it before and had success.


More importantly though; I am now an l337 haxx0r!
