The tutorials are fairly simple, it does not require an intensive knowledge in computing to go about recovering your lost password.
Method 01 – Ophcrack Windows User Login Password Cracker
Ophcrack is a Windows password cracker based on a time-memory trade-off using rainbow tables. This is a new variant of Hellman’s original trade-off, with better performance. It recovers 99.9% of alphanumeric passwords in seconds.
What makes ophcrack so powerful is the ability to crack Microsoft Windows user login password with the LiveCD function, no installation needed. LiveCD boots up before Windows does, thus allowing it to load and starts cracking your Windows XP and Vista login password, this bootable feature makes sense because without your password you are completely log out of your own computer.
The only drawback of the cracker is when it comes to cracking passwords with alphanumeric characters more than 15 characters, fear not, the good news is, how many people actually have a 15 character password? Probably that is why you’re reading this post because you have a password that is so long that you’ve somehow forgotten about it, am I right? Anyway the software is free and here are some of the unique features.
- Runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.
- Loads hashes from encrypted SAM recovered from a Windows partition.
- Bootable directly from the CD.
Note that the it only runs on Mac powered by intel processor, older Macs powered by Motorola G5 processor are not compatible.
Method 02 – Administrator Mode
The next scenario: What if you lost your Bios password and you’re not able to change the boot up sequence from Hard Disk to CD-Rom, thus rendering the LiveCD feature useless. Fear not, all Windows comes with the Administrator function, the question is, how do they bring up the administrator login screen?
Simple, hit ‘Ctrl’ + ‘Alt’ + ‘Del’ to bring up the alternative login screen, a new dialog box would popup, what you need to do is key in the user name as ‘administrator’, leave the password field empty and hit ‘enter’. Volla, you’re log into the default administrator user account. Run ophcrack to retrieve your forgotten Windows Login password.
Method 03 – Repair Windows
This method requires the original Microsoft Windows CD, TechTrax has an article ‘Forgot My Administrator Password!’, they provide a step by step tutorial on how to recover your lost Windows XP password.
How to Secure Your Windows Login Password
Prevent people from logging into your computer without your knowledge. Knowing that such a powerful Windows Login Cracker exists, what makes your computer secure? What are the odds of a stranger sneaking in and out of your computer when you’re not around, stealing your data, going through your browsing history without your knowledge?
With the availability of these methods as described above, the chances of people sneaking into your ‘secure’ comp is possible. Windows user login password is really weak, what you need is a hardware security lock instead of a software based security, Rohos Logon Key is one of the many hardware security product for windows, it comes in the form of a USB drive, instead of a software based security where you key in your password, it turns your Windows Login requirement into a hardware security token, nobody can access your comp without the exact security USB key, problem is if your lost the USB key, you’re as good as dead.
Rohos Logon Key is considered to be the most convenient, user-friendly and smart password replacement application on the market. This protects your company from information theft.

Why do you try to use the Windows Password Reset? No need to call a technician, no need to re-install anything, and you certainly don’t need to reformat. The program will enable you to reset the password to “Blank” with no -reformatting or installation. Do all the job for you automatically. It’s worth a try.
1. Login to a computer that can link to Internet. passwordunlock and decompress it on that PC. Note that: there is a .ISO file. Burn the .ISO file to a CD.
2 Get out the newly created CD and insert it to the locked computer.
3 re-booted the locked computer and then followed the process of instructions. Just a few steps, the old password was removed.”’
4 Setting new password:
Step one: Open the “Control Panel”
Step two: Click the “User Account ”
Step three: Select the account you wanna to set a new password.
Step four: Click “changing Account ” and “set up password”, then fill out the form as listed. Click “Create Password”.
Thus, you have a personal login ID and Password, any one has no right to login to your computer with out this info.
I have quite the problem. I will explain in detail.
I’ve been using my Windows XP Pro machine under the default
Administrator account for quite some time. Obviously over time, there
have been many settings changed and stored in the “C:Documents and
SettingsAdministrator” folder.
Today, I created another windows account, with Administrator
priviledges, let’s call it XXXX. When I restarted my computer, the
Windows Welcome/Login screen did not give me the option to login as
the default Administrator. It only allowed me to login as the new
XXXX Administrator account I created. Obviously, this account does
not have any of the settings that I have been working on using the
default Administrator account, making it useless to me at this point.
However, all of those settings are still available in the “C:
Documents and SettingsAdministrator” folder.
How can I restore that account and keep it as my main account? I
cannot login as it, nor can I find it listed in my list of Accounts in
the Control Panel under User Accounts. I know it still exists because
everything is found in the “C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator”
folder, as opposed to the “C:Documents and SettingsXXXX” folder.
I cannot log on back to the Origional Administrator?? which means now i am using Users mode instead of the origional administrator. how can i get back to the origional administrator?? on my log on screen there is only on administrator and the origional admin somehow dispeared?? how do i get my origional admin back?? i am now using the user account mode and i’ve rename it to administrator but actually the real administrator has dispeared!?? i am using win xp pro sp2.

try blank.
here is the methods I know.
The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget Your user account password then try this:
Start system and when you See Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it’ll show Classic Login box. Now type “Administrator” (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts”.
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.
Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover forgotten Password by using “Reset Disk”. If you created a Password Reset Disk in Past, you can use that disk to reset the password.
