How to Remove Windows XP Logon Password After Forgotten

How to log on to Windows XP if you forgot the administrator password? Here's step-by-step tutorial for you to remove lost Windows XP logon password easily.

If you have forgotten your Windows XP logon password, there are a few different ways that you can go about resetting it. One option is to use a third-party software program like Kon-Boot. Kon-Boot is a program that allows you to bypass the logon password for Windows XP. This program will work even if you have forgotten your password or if you have never set one.

Another option for resetting your Windows XP logon password is to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console is a tool that can be used to access the files on your hard drive in the event that you are unable to boot into Windows. To use the Recovery Console, you will need to have your Windows XP installation CD. Once you have the CD, insert it into your computer and boot from it. When you see the �Welcome to Setup� screen, press the R key to enter the Recovery Console.

At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following commands:

cd \windows\system32

renUtil.exe userinit.exe

copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe

exit

These commands will copy the wsaupdater.exe file to the userinit.exe file. This will allow you to bypass the logon password for Windows XP.

Once you have done this, you will need to reboot your computer. When you see the �Welcome to Setup� screen again, press the Enter key to continue. When you see the �Setup Options� screen, press the F8 key to accept the license agreement.

On the next screen, you will be asked to choose an installation method. Choose the �Repair� option.

copy c:\windows\repair\utilman.exe c:\windows\system32

exit

These commands will copy the userinit.exe and utilman.exe files from the repair folder to the system32 folder. This will allow you to bypass the logon password for Windows XP.

Once you have done this, you will need to reboot your computer. When you see the �Welcome to Setup� screen again, press the Enter key to continue. When you see the �Setup Options� screen, press the F8 key to accept the license agreement.
