lost password

help please--- Cannot start window xp---was password protected and now it does not register my password I have used for years.. What can I do. ? Thanks for your help.

 

If you haven't changed your password, was anyone else able to? You could ask them what they changed it to. Is your caps lock key on or something like that, happening to prevent Windows from recognizing its password?

We have very strict posting rules here about helping with passwords, and we do not post cracks and hacks. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You could use your reset password floppy, if you made one. This would reset to the password currently in use at the time you created the floppy.
The alternative is to format the drive and install windows.

 

Is the Administrator account intact. Can you log into it. Does it have a password or can you leave it blank (no password) to get in as Admin.
Any other accounts with Admin priviledges you can log into to reset a password or create a new account?
