How To Hack Windows XP Login Password
Posted in Tips, Hacks, Tricks on Jun 12, 2008
It’s really easy to hack the login password of Windows XP. This trick can be useful if you forgot what your login password is and want to change it so you can login again. I actually had this experience when I was trying to use my laptop which was deserted for almost a year. Forgot password = Can’t login. But there’s always a solution.
How To Hack
1. Restart your computer and keep pressing F8.
2. From the menu, select boot in save mode with command prompt.
3. once you’re at the command prompt, type “net users” (without quotes)
4. You will see a list of usernames. Pick the username that you are using and type “net users username *” (without quotes, replace username with a real username from that username list)
5. You will be asked to enter a new password and a second reconfirmation.
6. Press enter and you will be told that your username password has been changed successfully.
Easy, wasn’t it?
Can’t test this now because I am on Vista.
Wow…that is unbelievable easy. Much easier than I thought.
Cool…I could not even imagine this would be so easy.Thank you for sharing this secret with us.
Can’t do that. Couse, when we select safe mode with command prompt, before we enter the command prompt,
we must log in first.
Yes, that’s right if your account is setup with an administrator account. In that case, this hack might not be for you.
I had tried this hack for changing passwords belonging to users who are setup using guests accounts. In some cases, administrator accounts are unprotected, and thus you can always get to the command prompt through the administrator account without any passwords at all. Follow the commands as mentioned above once you’re in the command prompt.
