Title: Windows XP administrator password
Post by: CJTech on September 22, 2003, 04:03:34 PM
I am looking for a software program that will uncover the administrator password on a Windows XP box. I do not want to hack files just a program that you run and it will display the password or reset it.

You can't read password, you cant just reset it.

Running Windows XP:

I have a blue screen with an error message that says : "stop: c0000218 {registry file failure} The registry cannot load the hive  (file): \systemroot\system32\config\software or its log or alternate........"

I called the computer company's tech support and went thru several steps with them.

In attempting to get into the Recovery Console, I come to a prompt that asks for "Administrator Password".
When I type in what I think is the password, it says that it is invalid.

The tech support people at the company are saying that since I do not know the password, I must "reinstall" Windows, which will totally obliterate all my documents.   Unfortunately, I have no backup, and if I have to reinstall, I am going to lose lots of family photgraphs which are only on the computer.
I have a 3 yr old and 90% of his baby pics are on here.  

What can I do ???

I cannot get into anything.  Is there some way to remedy this without this drastic measure.  I don't want to lose my pictures.  

Can anyone help me????

OK, this is what you could try, in fact I know it will work on FAT32 file system, if you have NTFS maybe out of luck.

First of all you need a spare hard drive to do this, if you dont have one, borrow one and connect it to your pc, then

Go to this web site
http://www.oldfiles.streamlinetrial.co.uk/...ad/fastlynx.htm (http://\"http://www.oldfiles.streamlinetrial.co.uk/powerload/fastlynx.htm\")

Download the free version of fastlynx (fastlynx2.0)
Create a Boot Floppy and boot your pc from it, once booted
Insert the FastLKynx diskette, type FX and you're on your way to recover every single file which are in the old drive you cant boot from.

Good luck
P.S. if you are using NTFS, grab the NTFSreader from dos disk this is available here.
http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm (http://\"http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm\")

I've never used it, so I cant really tell you it will work, worth a try though, you are going to lose everything by reformatting, have nothing to lose to try this out.

You can look it up but with Knoppix STD there is a program that allows you to set NT passwords.  Knoppix is a flavor of linux that boots from the cd and does not install to your hardrive.  
If you want to reset the password there is a program called chntpw in Knoppix STD that can do that for you

This link will show you how to actually figure out what the passord is  /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Both work well just depending on what you need

I went to the website you mentioned and there is no "download seepassword." I googled this and came up with sites that allow download but it requires a key. Do you happen to have the original version or know where I can get it? The company that wrote SeePassword doesn't show it on their website (very odd), so I'm not comfortable about sending payment into the ether.
