Thaicoon Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 My second PC has been on holiday, for about 12 months, got it back last week, i cannot remember my password to log on, the windows on this PC is XP, i have lots of pic's documents etc which are important to me, is there any way i can reset the administators password to log back on, had all passwords written down but they went as well when the PC was taken, and that little book has been destroyed, any ideas or any software i can use.. I can only log on as a guest, which is useless. Any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to consider encrypting those files containing personal or confidential information. However, should you forget those passwords, the likelyhood of recovery is virtually nil. waldwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard10365 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 You can also use software easily obtained at Pantip to restore your computer after a major crash. The CD that I have is bootable CD called Winternals that boots up your computer in a similar fashion as Windows would however it is not windows. Then it allows you to copy the files you need to another medium. Then just reformat your other computer and start all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
