Password Recovery in Windows XP

How to Recover Password in Windows XP

First Method:

If you forgot your log-in password in Windows XP. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account "Administrator" and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget your user account password then try this:

Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, 
  • Press <ctrl>+<alt>+<del> keys twice and it'll show Classic Login box. 
  • Now type "Administrator" (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank.
  • Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from 
  • "Control Panel -> User Accounts".
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.
