GaRFIELD Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 For others that may come upon this problem, there are 1 utility/program that has the posibilities to reset ANY password on a windows system.ERD Commander -> with LockSmith program.Emergency only:http://www.winternals.com/products/repaira...002.asp?pid=erdFull product info:http://www.winternals.com/products/repaira....asp?pid=ap#erdI have tested this product on several different OS's and works all the time.You can reset 1 password only at each reboot, but as you only would do this when you loose your administrator password, it should only need 1 reboot (before and after reset).Key features:Boots dead systems directly from CDEasy, familiar Windows-like interfaceIncludes the Locksmith utility to reset lost Administrator passwordsIncludes FileRestore so that you can quickly find and recover deleted filesProvides access to XP Restore Points on unbootable Windows XP systemsCompares key info on unbootable systems with that of a working system for diagnosis and trouble-shootingAllows for formatting and partitioning of disksBuilt-in network access to safely copy data to/from dead systemsRepair and diagnostic tools located on Start menuRepair tools include Service and Driver Manager, Locksmith, FileRestore, Registry Editor, Explorer, Disk Management, and Command PromptDiagnostic tools include the System Compare, Event Log Viewer, System Information, TCP/IP Configuration, and Logical volumes utilitiesCompatible with Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003WHEN you use this program to reset your password, it will NOT effect any other configuration on your system compared to the Microsoft solution. This is a 100% reset password only.-------------------------------GaRFIELD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
