Long story short: I'm a n00b and was playing around with Command Prompt in Windows XP, and I somehow set my mom and dad's account up with a password. as I didn't add a pass word on purpose, I have no clue what the password is. Luckily I have Admin. privilages, so I might be able to unblock them. any one know how to reset/retreive passwords in XP!
on your admin account! as you did in cmd! type in net user you'll see what accounts you have! type in net user ACCOUNTNAME* or there are tons of other commands (just search around the forum and you'll find them) if you want to see for yourself then type in net user ? (u prob already know that) if that doesnt work: login to safe mode! (press F8 at start_ - safe mode > admin) go to that Account you want to set the password! (control panel_ - User accounts - _edit the account password) Set it blank (as shabi said) and then ask your parents to set the password again to what they want¬ hope that helped! :] checkout: http://www.hackernotcracker.com/2007-03/change-or-reset-any-windows-xp-password.html
google ophcrack live cd and download it. It's like 400mb, but when you do download it, burn the iso to a cd using your cd burning software and change your computer startup bios to boot from cd first. It'll crack any user password on your pc.
