How to get around Windows XP user password

Submitted by Adam on June 23, 2007 - 1:20pm.
  • Solutions

A caller recently inherited a computer with a password enabled for getting into Windows. Here are two ways to disable or delete the required password.

1. Turn on the computer.

2. Immediately begin pressing the F8 key over and over in about half second intervals.

3. A menu will come up asking how you want to boot - choose SAFE MODE.

4. Windows will come up with two user accounts, click on the Administrator account.

5. Once Windows starts up (it will look ugly, but work the same) go to Start->Control Panel.

6. Double-click on User Accounts.

This is where you have two choices:

Create a new user account using the option in menu and delete the old user accound

OR

Click on the user account  then click REMOVE PASSWORD.

Turn the computer off and back on and things should be back to normal.

Unless you are doing something super secret, we don't recommend putting paswords on user accounts.

Password

I want to try & remove the need for a password when starting up Windows XP & My son would like the same with Vista.

I think they have updated how it is done or did away with it.

if it asks for a supervisor password

Submitted by Smart Computer User on August 9, 2007 - 5:25pm.

if it asks for a supervisors, or admins, password then you may not be in the right thing and you may be in the bios set-up, you may want to retry and this time make sure that the computer is using white text on a black background, not white on blue, theres a difference and that difference is your going to piss off the owner of the computer by not letting him use said computer till you remember the pass word you stet on it!

Try nothing

If your computer asks for an administrator password, try leaving it blank. If that doesn't do it, you will need more help from a computer guy.
