Did you encounter a forgotten password when you were using the Windows XP operating system? Here are a few ways to talk about it.
Method One:
(1) Start the computer, use a DOS boot disk (such as: Windows 98 boot disk) into a pure DOS state.
(2) At the DOS prompt, follow these steps:
cd\ (Switch to root directory)
CD windows\system32 (Switch to system directory)
mkdir temphack (Create temporary folder)
Copy logon.scr TEMPHACKLOGON.SCR (Backup LOGON.SCR)
Copy cmd.exe Temphackcmd.exe (backup cmd.exe)
Del logon.scr (delete logon.scr)
Rename Cmd.exe logon.scr (renamed Cmd.exe LOGON.SCR)
Exit (Exit)
(3) Restart the computer, in the login waiting for the screen to wait quietly, if not modified screen protection time, about 10 minutes, the system will automatically start the Login screen saver program, However, since LOGON.SCR has been replaced by Cmd.exe, the system started cmd.exe and entered a command prompt state.

(4) At this point, we can use the command: NET user password to modify the password.
If you have a Super Administrator account is admin, you want to reset their password to admin, then you can use the command: NET user admin admin, enter the password can be changed.
(5) Next, would you like to go to the desktop system and see what's on the hard drive? Enter the Explorer command at the command prompt. Do you have a smooth access to Windows desktop?
Small Tips
If you have a regular user account, use the method described above to make a minor change to the Super Admin administrator account.
Backup LOGON.SCR and Usermgr.exe, the second step of the Cmd.exe all replaced by Usermgr.exe, and then restart, silently waiting, when there is not a command prompt, but User Manager, then we have the right to add themselves to the group of administrators.
