user accounts win xp.

[broady212003]

Hi all,

I know that this is not in the software section, but I thought it would stand a better chance of an answer here.

I have a pc in my hose which is password protected and with just the one user account, but the password has been lost, so is there any other way to get into windows so that an new account can be setup without loosing all the data on that pc????

Any help plz

You can run NTFSDOS copy the SAM database and bruteforce the pass. But there's probberly a much easier way.

first thing - have you tried login into the default administrator account - unfortunately SO many people STILL leave this account password unprotected.. give it shot. if not best bet is as posted above
