Windows XP Home - Password Lost !!

dreamworks · March 31st, 2003

Hi guys ..

Need some help here urgently. I have a PC that is installed with Microsoft Windows XP - Home Edition. This PC belongs to my client which bought it from someone else. The problem is, his children changed his password yesterday and they don't have the slightest idea what they did.

I don't really want to format the PC as there are much important things in there, a call back to the PC supplier who sold him this PC does not help as the technician who installed the OS for him is no longer with that company so they have no idea what the Administrator's password is either.

What can I do now please? Anyway or suggestions would be most appreciated .. THANK YOU

thisd has been discussed a couple of times on the forum. I have a bootdisk which will change the password, so if you want it to usae it on your own pc and not on someone elses then mail me at sboulema@wanadoo.nl

Dont think this was a good thread to be around since it violates guidelines bigtime...

Should we warn both the starter and sboulema ??

This is what sucks, if his story is true then...

If his story is all smoke and mirrors then...

Truly sucks.

My opinion,
a warning to sboulema, he should know better and an explanation more than a warning on why not to post that type of question to dreamworks. True story or not.

My opinion.

But seeing this pisses me off.
