I had nothing to worry about last night and wandered online. I saw a user in the group saying that his friend had installed the XP operating system, but I forgot the system password after the installation, however, I have encountered this problem before, and then I simply set the same password as long as the password is involved, so that I do not forget it. In this case, reinstalling the system is not suitable. What should I do? Today, we will introduce how to solve the problem of password loss in Windows XP.
1. log in with the administrator account
This is the simplest method. When installing Windows XP, you are required to set up a login account during the installation process. This password is usually lost, after the installation is complete, the system will automatically generate an administrator account group for the administrator, which belongs to the administrator group. By default, the password for this account is blank, so we can use this administrator to log on, however, you must not set the administrator password when installing the operating system.
Step 1:
Start the computer and go to the logon page. As shown in figure 1, my computer uses a family account when installing the operating system. Here, we assume that we do not know the password of this family.
Login interface
Step 2:
After arriving at the login interface, we press ctrl + alt + del twice in a row. Then we will find that the login interface is a login interface similar to the Windows 2000 operating system, here we need to manually enter the administrator account, and then click OK to enter Windows XP normally.
Note: Double-click ctrl + alt + del in the window + L is invalid.
After logging on to Windows XP, we can use the administrator account to change the passwords of other accounts, of course, this method can also be implemented by using the login security mode to log on to the administrator account or using the net user command, which is only troublesome and the fastest way.
In a sense, after installing the operating system, it is insecure not to set the administrator account password. Yesterday I went to a friend's house and opened the machine and could not enter the operating system, this method is used for login. Therefore, many users may change the administrator password after installing the operating system, or directly use the administrator user name and set the password during the installation process. In this case, what should we do if we cannot access the operating system in this way? Next we will introduce another method.
