| This is simple as pie. You will be able to change the Administrator's password if it is password protected. First, go on Start>Run>Type cmd>Type net user * Administrator> enter a new password>>confirm your password. Then, log off or switch users, then, login as admin, and type the password you entered in the cmd screen. Good day., |

| Its not working for me.... What I get is: C:\Documents and Settings\welcome>net user * Administrator 123456 The syntax of this command is: NET USER [username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN] username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN] username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN] |

| It is completely safe and fine to do if done properly. I have a better tutorial that I have written up located at wired.profusehost.net - Forgotten Windows Password . If you still have any problems with trying this or still have questions post below and I will answer your posts or email me from my email link in my signature. |

I have been moving my site over to a new domain and I had deleted that part of my site without re-linking it to the new site. Sorry for the confusion.. It should work for xp sp2 as I have tried it before on my pc. The link is itconstruct.com.au - Home . Let me know if you would like me to check the article. |

| Yes sometimes you can but sometimes it is impossible to do it depending on the permissions you have to access things on a pc. I am unsure whether a limited user can still use control userpasswords2 but the command line version can be used by anyone with access to command prompt. |

| Yeah you can use control userpasswords2 under "Run" to change the password of the admin account. I would recommend this then using the command prompt, as command prompt is usually blocked out from users in protected computers, espcially the ones in school ![]() |
