Please help xp home edition password

timmy222 · 22 Aug 2013 at 22:55

Hi peeps, my chum has messed with xp tools and now has the admin password prompt on boot up.
I need a cd or a way to find the password to get him back in.
I used to have a real good password finder on a cd but cannot find it.
Any help please - sorry had a few beers so typing crap.
Just happy to reset it to his user name, sorry i meant xp power tools - he has messed with this and now it wants the admin prompt which he does not recall gah! :confused:

Ophcrack could take a while (or fail), depending on the speed of the hardware and the complexity of the password.

You'd probably get things done a lot quicker using this: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

Ignore #2. Attempting to crack the password is a waste of time.

See #3.
