Reset Or Change Administrator Password Using Windows
XP
Here's a quick and easy way to change your administrator
password on Windows XP.
1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your
computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it
should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)
2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your CD
Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from CD”
Hack Windows XP Admin Password
3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is
inspecting your system and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to
Setup Windows now
5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.
6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the
option to do a Repair.
It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP
installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”
Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if
you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to
begin the Repair process.
7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then
start copying files which can take several minutes.
8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to
reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress
bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”
9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any
key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically
with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing
Windows is highlighted.
10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and
when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT +
F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open
up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.
11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You
have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the
Control Panel.
12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove
or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on
without having to enter your new password, you can type control
userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without
being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes
close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with
the Repair (have your Product key handy).
13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your
new password (or without a password if you chose not to use
one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your
programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

Cracking Administrator Account
Changing ANY user password without knowng password
It enables the user to re-password any account without having to
know the existing password and also shows you every account
that exists on the machine (even the ones that are hidden). This
is a good tool to use if you forgot a password to say your
administrator account and you needed to be logged into the
admin account for any reason.
To view all of the user accounts:
While logged onto the computer, click on Start>Run>and type in
CMD.
From the command prompt window, type in net users. This will
show you every account that is made onto the computer whether
it is hidden or not.
To change an account password:
1. You logon to another user account go to run and type there
itself only
cmd /k net user administrator /random
then press enter. u will find a administrator password then u can
press crtl alt del log on to administrator then type the password
u have been logged.
Here "administrator" is the name of the account. It can be
different.
2. This method deletes passwords of all the accounts from your
computer. Just find "SAM" file in "systemroot%\system32\" or in
"C:\WINDOWS\system32" or click to search then goto tools
option above then mark "show hidden files" and unmark "show
system files" 2 steps below it and search for "SAM" in drive C.
Some time a simple trick works some time doesn't...just delete
the file and restart the computer..it will wash out Admin
password ..So you just have to type administrator as user name
and press enter...enjoy.
3. Now this trick is done with the help of "ERD Commander" CD
which is a bootable CD. Insert it on boot time and go to
start>>Administrator tools>>Lock Smith>>Choose your
OS>>give new admini password ASD_123 and ok then log off
then open your os and give admin password asd_123 and after
login you can change your password.
4. While logged onto the computer to an account that has
administrative rights, click on Start>>Run>>and type in CMD.
Type in net user then the name of the account then * and press
enter. heres an example: net user administrator * or net user
"Joe Smith" * . Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces.
From there it should ask for a new password. Type in your new
password (type very carefully - the command window won't
display what you type) and once more to confirm it. If you get the
message that the command succeeded successfully you're all
set!!
5. Open command prompt (Start->Run->cmd), Enter the followin
command, then press ENTER:compmgmt.msc
This should open the computer management console.
Go to local users & groups->users. Right click on any user and
select "set password".
If you get a "access denied" do the following:
start>run>cmd
then use following commands
net user test /add (this command will make test named user)
net localgroup administrators test /add (this command will make
test user as administrators rights)
and use net user command to reset your admin. password
6. Use this software.

How To Boot From A USB Flash Drive
For starters this is still a new science and many people have had
good luck with at least one of these methods and others have
not. Note that flash drives are often also called thumb drives,
keychain drives, pendrives, etc.
A FEW THINGS YOU NEED TO CONSIDER IN ADVANCE.
1. The PC has to support booting from a USB flash drive. There
may be anywhere from 1-3 items to change in the BIOS to make
this possible assuming your BIOS supports it. Some bios's may
refer to your flash drive as a USB floppy or USB zip.
2. The USB flash drive must support booting from it in general.
3. The flash drive must contain the boot/system files.
4. The flash drive must have bootsector area. This is done with
special utilities.
5. References to "A:" drive lines in the autoexec.bat and/or config.
sys files you copy to the drive after you make it bootable may
result in errors.
6. You "may" have to format your floppy disk first in WinXP
before you create a bootdisk as XP may "not" like working later
on with a disk formatted otherwise.
7. Included below is a bootable ISO of DOS 7.1 which may be
used with some of these methods if you do not have a 1.44 drive.
METHODS
Method 1
Make your flash drive bootable using Bart's mkbt util:
http://www.nu2.nu/mkbt/ | Alt: mkbt20.zip
Put a bootable floppy disk in your A: drive or create one using
Windows.
Download mkbt20.zip and unpack to to new temp folder you
create.
Go to the temp folder.
Extract the bootsector from the bootable floppy disk. eg Open a
DOS Window and go to the directory where you extracted MKBT.
Type:
mkbt -c a: bootsect.bin
The boot sectors from the bootable floppy disk have just been
saved to a file in the temp folder you created.
Format the flash drive in FAT or FAT16.
Copy the bootsector to the flash drive. Open a DOS Window and
go to the folder where you extracted MKBT. Type:
mkbt -x bootsect.bin Z:
"Z" represents the flash drive drive Letter. So if your flash drive
has another drive letter, then change the "Z" accordingly.
Now you can [grin] "should" be able to copy the utilities you need
to the pen drive.
Method 2
Try these 2 HP/Compaq USB Flash Drive Utilities. They work with
many other brands of flash drives as well.

Here is my another method for creating dos bootable USB sticks
using windows format.
1. From Win98 DOS-Prompt type "SYS {USBDriveLetter}:" or
"FORMAT {USBDriveLetter} /U /S". If from WinXp then from start-
>run command.com execute format.exe copied from win95 or
win98.
OR
2. Simply by enabling copy system files in windows explorer
format window. By default it is disabled for non-floppy drives. To
enable it use windows enabler program from http://www.

Windows XP: How to add Safe Mode to Boot list?
Once in a while, you might want to switch to the Safe Mode in
Windows during boot to solve some problems on your computer.
If you find it hard to boot into safe mode by pressing the F8 key -
you can add the safe mode to the Windows XP boot list.
Windows will now ask you whether you want to boot into the
normal or safe mode everytime you switch on your computer.
To do this, try the following steps:
• Go to Control Panel >> System
• In the Advanced Tab, click the Edit button under Startup and
Recovery
• Add the following entry to the boot.ini file that opens up:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft
Windows XP Professional Safe Mode” /fastdetect /safeboot:
minimal /sos /bootlog
• Save the file and exit by pressing Apply, OK
• Restart your PC
You now have two options - to enter into the Normal Mode or get
into Windows XP using the safe mode.

Color your Windows Folder
Rainbow Folders is an easy to use small program thal allows you
to change the color of the icon which represents the default
Windows Folder . It is also resource free as its size is only 370
Kb .
Apart from coloring your folders , this can perform 2 additional
tasks . You can even set an extra warning with the colorized
folder which will be displayed when someone tries to delete the
folder . You can also setup an “optional text” to be displayed
when someone puts the cursor above the folder . Using this you
can easily differentiate between your different folders by coloring
them differently .
