Hi,

For some reason my password isn\'t working any more on windows XP.I\'m the administrator so this kind of sucks.How can I retrieve or change my password.My password hint is no good either.Thanks.

Here you can find a Linux-based bootdisk which enables you to enter the SAM. In there you can change the Admin-pw to something new and there you are...

Works with WNT4 and W2k, so you might as well try it on WXP... Good luck.
