Retrieve your lost password

If you have ever lost your password, this is another way to open up XP so you can change your password.

·         The very first thing you want to do when you are hacking your version of XP is to turn on your computer. Once the BIOS POST test is over, start pressing F8. This will allow you to bring XP into safe mode.

·         After you have gotten XP load boot in safe mode, go into your control panel and select the user icon. From here you are going to create a new computer administrator account. If you try to change your password from at this time, it will not let you because your are not the Administrator of that account.

·         Now that you have created a new account, reboot the computer and let it start normally. Once your computer has booted normally go ahead and open the new account.

·         Once you have opened the new account, you will need to open up the control panel again and open up the user account and now you can change the password to your other account.
