I don't think we should help someone(atleast here in TE) to violate some corporate/other rules.

Looks like this thread is going to be CLOSED soon :)

But here i don't want to discuss any thing like that. this is just to recover the lost password

If it has usb enabled, there was a linux version that did reset the password.

i know about that, but i want to try it from the guest account itself.
Say if by any chance, i lost by xp administrator password, how can i reset it from the guest account?

Hola!!! Don't get sentimental buddy :):)... I was just kidding :bleh::bleh:, I don't really need a way to get Admin privileges at my workstation in Office ... What will I do with them anyways...

I already know open proxies in our network, so am surfing TE on my Office workstation which has supposedly been blocked by our IT Deptt...

Yes, there were actually 2 ways... but sp2 cured both, 1 was through a C applet (which had to be downloaded) where you had to copy a specific dll and let the applet decode it and the other one was through CMD related to how Screen savers start & stop but those methods were really old considering sp2 cure them...

Why do you need to hack just ask for it? And sometimes (rarely though) people don't even put a password on the Administrator account because it asks for the password only during setup.. Also it doesn't show up in the normal log in screen...

Yeah i know that method all you have to do is to replace the logon.scr file found in c:\windows\system32 with a copy of cmd.exe(of course you will have to rename it to logon.scr). But that method is not effective any more. I tried in Windows XP service pack 2 and 3, but the guest are not allowed to write in the windows directory.

And for your second part, i myself use administrator password and i recommend all the other xp user to set an administrator, password else anyone can access your system. Suppose you didn't set the administrator password and have another username say "xyz" with administrative privilege even with its own password, then all one have to do is to press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" twice in the logon screen, XP will prompt for a dialogue based logon screen where one can just type "administrator" in the user name field and by leaving the password field empty, he will have full access to your system as a system administrator.

So friends, install administrator password right now :P

Coming back to my case, i have administrator password, and i want to learn this trick to reset my administrator password even from a guest account.

This thread is only for EDUCATIONAL purpose and DON'T think any thing ILLEGAL out of it :)
 
@CA50, did you tried Hiren Boot CD??...

Well it does the task of password resetting before booting the OS, so i guess you wont need anything to reset it in Guest account.

May be it can help you..

I tried to reset admin password from "User Account"(with special restricted access, some stupid settings enabled which wont allow you to open control panel,install any app,open task manager,transfer data to and from usb drives etc.) too an year ago to log in my college's computer using Admin privileges just to enable the USB ports to support USB drives but all the methods and tricks failed as they were on SP2 which have fix for all those security loopholes.

So, if the system supports boot from CD drive(i think they might have disabled this too :P), then only Hiren boot cd is the best option.

I know that mate, this can be done with 3rd party app, but i want to try it within windows itself

Without 3rd party app you will not able to do this.

I know Microsoft people are dump but not as dump as you think they are.

I said that because St.John wanted to break it in his office network.

I said nothing to @OP

BTW I too use tor to access facebook, orkut, twitter :) :P

I didn't imply that I wanted to break into my Office's network :o :o... What I meant was to get Local Admin privileges, which we don't have...

Anyways, apologies for the goof up... I should have phrased my comment properly... :) :)
