Re: Reset Windows XP password

Yeah I was thinking about that too.

You know, the next logical step would be for some smart person to analyze this just a bit further and figure out how to trigger the Shift-F10 code from the boot CD WITHOUT having to go through with a repair/reinstall.

Edit: There's another technique that worked for quite a long time but I don't know if it still does.

Were you refering to a Linux boot disk? I have used that as well as a couple other recovery type boot disks (both from CD and floppy) and they work great. I have never had to runa repair-installtion to the OS to get a new password (but as stated above - it would work).
