Lost Administrators Password - Tried Austrumi Nt_pass Utility
Jun 21, 2008
I have windows XP SP2 installed on my system and i just foregot the admin password.
I tried with Austrumi nt_pass utility but its not workin onmy system may bcoz of SATA disk or coz of linux and vista is also installed on same system.
I'm having trouble booting my system. Before I take it in, I decided to try and repair the OS from the provided OS CD. When I select repair, it asks me for an Administrators password to continue
When I turn my computer (HP s7527c Desktop) on it only boots to the HP Administrators screen. There is no password required. If I click on the icon it only reloads the same screen. Can anyone explain what is wrong? If I click on F10 (PC Recovery) during bootup the computer works ok after the recovery process is complete.I have only had this computer less then a year and I cannot find any answer on the HP site or from their support.
I got Compaq Armada 1592 Its screen said password expired, enter old password, then the new password. I entered old password, tried all sorts of combinations of upper case, lower case I thought I could just bypass that screen and start as new user, but apparently not.
my mum is running XP with Tiscali broadband. More often than not, when she tries to connect she is asked for her password ( we have tried clicking remember password!) but then is told it is not recognised. After several tries worth of helpline phone calls they take her thru the whole setting up procedure again & she is connected.
A few days later the same thing happens again!
Is this a money making ploy by Tiscali? Or is there something ( virus?) that could be causing the password to become unrecognised?
i have lost Windows password. I don't know which version of Windows he has. Can anyone give me advise as to how he can access Windows again and then begin with a new password?
My Dell pc runs Windows XP Home Edition. am unable to get into it because i forgot the password. Is there any way to circumvent the system temporarily so that I can log into the pc and assign new passwords to it?
i have Dell laptop with windows XP. Today it is asking for password and I don't even remember setting one up. Can't log in. Administrator also requires a password.
How do I retrieve a lost password? When I attempt to set account info I get "error 0x80070005 access is denied. you do not have permission to perform the required operation." I am the administrator.
I have a dell windows xp desktop, when it starts up it asks for my user password..but i set it so long ago i forget. any way to get out of it without having to re-install windows xp?
i have lost admin password i would like to reinstall windows XP but we can't because the operating diskettes we have are older than the updates that have been automated on the machine by microsoft. Can anyone help me decode the admin password or override it? Or help me find a way to reinstall windows xp ?
I have just gotten my friends laptop to fix up. It's a pretty big mess. The thing is, he got it from this old school, and he needs administrative control as right now, he can do almost nothing. He cant contact the school, and I tried looking for some password resetting or something but nothing.I just searched through almost all 50 topics of the "I lost my administrative password" topics, hoping to find an answer, and I did, but now I need help with that. I downloaded the CD version from my computer, extracted it, and burned the .iso file onto the cd. I put in the cd in the laptop, and nothing happened. So I rebooted, and nothing happened. I tried to open it, but it doesnt work with anything, so now it opens with Notepad, which doesn't do anything.
I lost the password to my administrator's account on our home computer. I called microsoft & they told me they could not help. Is there any way to reset the password on my computer?
When I turn on the computer it goes to the Windows XP screen, there it prompts you to log in as Administrator or Guest. I can log in as a guest, but I can't change nothing or do anything else there. I want to log in as the administrator. How can I get the Administrator's password, or change it to a new one?
i bought a used laptop w/XP installed and registered. but can't get into system because doesn't have the Admin password Don't want to reinstall everything because we don't have the XP disk. That, too, is gone.
The laptop is useable, but runs like a 400MHz. Slow for 2.4GHz. Takes several minutes to boot up and every window lags. Can do minor stuff such as defrag and shutting off several XP "bells and whistles", but it really needs a serious tune-up. Several of the start-up programs need to be shut off or removed. Also needs its reg cleaned. Also need to check the BIOS. Can't do it cuz it won't let me in.
Is there any way to nullify the passwords? I know on certain pc's, all I have to do is remove and reinstall a pin on the motherboard. This is an HP 2.4GHZ Celeron laptop.
I have two computers & so I don't frequently use the one I am having the problem with. It is a Dell Inspiron 1000 Laptop Running Windows XP Home/newbie so pls be patient..Anyway, the Dell got infected with the NSIS Media Trojan & I tried everything to remove it including but not limited to Webroot spy sweeper. It would quarantine it but apparently this thing regenerates in the registry. Therefore, I decided I needed to really secure my system & so since I am the only user, I deleted the non-admin logon account & set up the admin account with a password. I wrote it down but have lost the paper which I had written the password on. The hint is not helping me remember it exactly so I'm locked out.
I need to change my password the my local PC to coincide with my password to logon into the servor. Surprisingly to me, the password I'm sure I entered is returning incorrect password. The ID is correct.I tried the instructions from this link: http://www.xppasswordrecovery.co.uk/ but am unable to do step 3;(I typed A:upload.txt in dos editor and get the text file).
Can't log into Administrator tried every password I can think of.I know it is case-sensitive, and I have tried leaving it blank.I can log into user name, but I am very limited to what I can do. I am logged in as a power user but have no power.Is there any work around to get into Admin? I really don't want to reinstall.
