Resetting administrator password (XP) - 03/04/2006 14:54
SEnt an old PC to a friend, unfortunately he doesn't seem to be able to log in with what I thought I'd set as the admin password, is it possible to bypass this or rest the password somehow?

It's OK, he hadn't got to grip with his caps lock key

In case anyone else wants to know a possible way to fix this. Search for LinNT boot disk. I've used it before to reset the admin password on a win2k box.

I have an 8 meg ISO that will do it for you in seconds. Get me an FTP site and I'll send it to you.
I have the same thing for 2000. That one clocks in at a hefty 6.5M.
