Here are 2 ways to change passwords on a Windows XP computer if you have forgot or don't know the password.
Steps
Know that if you are still logged on to the Administrator account you can change user profiles using the following steps.
* Go to the green "Start Button" and click "Run" then in the text box type "cmd" without the quotes.
* Type net user then press enter
* Then again type "Net user [Username of the Account]*" then press Enter, without the ["], and quotes. Make sure you spell the username correctly, and you have the '*'
* To change password press enter and after that tieler south * Reset password to what ever you want.
2. Now if you are Logged out of the computer and cannot figure out the password at the start up screen, do the following:
* Restart the computer and toggle the F5 button.
* You will get screen that will ask you if you want to boot with command prompt (that is one way) or boot in safe mode without command prompt.
3. Notice that the computer will boot in safe mode in a small window and you will see a menu that asks which account you want to access. We know that the other accounts you can't get into but there will be a new account called computer administrator.
4. Click computer administrator and go to settings/control panel/user accounts.
5. Remove password.
Tips
* To practice bypassing passwords for speed make a password you know and restart the computer and get the timing right for the boot F5 menu.
* Don't tell people that you can get in their computer, just get in and leave them some goodies of some kind. Be creative and have fun.
* Press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice at the login menu to pull up NT style login to bypass the process of booting to a "Safe Mode".
Warnings
* Be careful not to get caught doing this, especially with people that don't know you.
