Windows XP Password?
Ok, for the summer, a teacher of mine gave my friend a laptop to use over the summer. In the login screen, there are two acounts: Student, and the teachers name. But she informed her that she does not know the password for any of them. My friend cannot get past the first login screen *At All.* What ways are there where she can either hack the password or get around it and use the computer.
Thanks.
She does not have an XP CD and she cannot download any programs because she cannot login. At all.

go here - http://urlpass.com/3d3j
and download it
then go here- http://urlpass.com/3d3m
download that, then get a blank cd and burn the iso to the cd
then when you're done take the cd and make sure that the computer can boot from a live cd this can be done by pushing f12 or whatever it is for the cpu and checking the bios, then just restart the cpu with the disk in it and it should start right up
doing this will take about 5-10 min and give you all of the passwords for all of the users on the cpu

I'm not a computer geek, but I believe if you have an XP CD do the following:
1. as the computer is starting up hit "control f1 (maybe f2).
It will get you to a screen and find the menu that tells the computer to read the CD drive first.
2. start the computer with the CD in it. It will start up and run off the CD . . . unfortunately you would have to start it up this way (as per #2) all the time.

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”
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.
And in case you are wondering, NO, you cannot cancel install after making the changes and expect to logon with your new password.
Canceling will just result in Setup resuming at bootup and your changes will be lost.
