Ex Locks Herself Out of XP.... LOL... But Help - GoFuckYourself.com

Paul Waters · 08-20-2004, 07:27 AM

So the ex that has not moved out, and continues to use my internet connection, thought it would be a good idea to put a password on her computer.

She cannot remember what it is, and is locked out.

Problem is, she is giving me grief, saying I must know how to get her in her computer again. WTF? Then why bother with the password?

But to get rid of the grief.... is there a way to get her into her system again? (She would feel owned........lol)

Or is there a web site, that I can show her that makes it clear that she is fucked.

Either way, it will end my grief... I hope.

Thanks

there is a bootable cd available for this.. it was created by linux gurus to show how petty windows security is... I'm not sure of the name of the disc. If I remember it I'll post it.

Knoppix

This is the one I use when customers change and forget their passwords...

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

It works great, I have used it several times on windows xp, I have yet to try it on any other versions of windows.

It is suggested to delete administrator password, rather than change the password. This will allow you to log back in to windows with no password, then you can set it yourself.

although you can get in using Knoppix (or any other linux flavour) you need to know what you are doing. Knoppix will open the file structure to you, but once your in... your on your own, resetting the admin password.

The Second link in my above post boots up into a menu, from what I understand that has an option 'Remove Windows Admin Password'

ROFL ... she is so owned !

Chances are you have not set a password for the default 'Administrator' account.

You can log into this from safe mode and then change her password.
