Windows xp sp2 administrator password forgotten, pls help me to recover or suggest solution

  • Anonymous Jul 07, 2010

    If you have lost windows login password,i think the best way for you is using a third party tool it won't cost you so much.And many people tend to use windiws password key,with this tool you can easily remove your lost windows password. Usually,when one realize they have lost their password,they like to reintall the system,it is not the best way.You can try to login to sate mode.On start up (before Windows loads) keep tapping either F5 or F8 (be aware that some manufacturers use F8 for system recovery!) then use arrow keys to highlight 'Safe Mode' and hit Enter/Return, click on a user account, enter the Administrator password (if you don't know it, there probably isn't one so leave it blank) and hit Enter/Return.I think this won't works for you as you have lost login password not user password. So the best way is using windows password key which is considered as the best tool to reset local administrator and user passwords on any Windows system.

I just want to say that WIndows password is not safe, some tools can remove it easily such as Windows Password Rescuer.
But you can just use it to recover your lost/forgot password. Don't use it to hack other's computer password!
You also can use Windows Password Rescuer to add a new user with administrator privilege to your Windows without login. With this New user account you can logon your locked computer directly.
If your system is Windows 7/vista/xp,you can use "Windows Password Rescuer Personal/Professional'.
