How to Get Into Your Computer When You Lost Your Windows XP Password

This article tells you that reinstalling XP system is not the only option when you lost Windows XP password but you can use other 2 better options to deal with the problem.

LA, CA (prHWY.com) July 12, 2012 - When you create a Windows XP user account, you are given the option to add a password to that account. This password can be a very important component in keeping your computer and system secure. It prevents other users of your computer from gaining access to your private files, and makes it more difficult for hackers to gain control of your computer. But recently I find many people lost Windows XP password and also they have no clues to deal with it.

Reinstalling Windows XP is not the only option to reset the lost Windows XP password.
In some circumstances, losing Windows XP password can mean that you cannot access to the XP-based computer. This happens when you don't have any other user account except the password-forgotten administrator account. To troubleshoot the Windows XP password lost problem, there is a common misconception that the only way to reset the lost password and start using the computer again is to format the hard drive and reinstall the XP operating system. To do so, almost the data stored on the computer will be lost. However, there are actually many other options that you can try such as using an early created Windows password reset disk and using a professional third-party Windows password recovery tool.

Two other options to reset Windows XP password:
A. Using an early created Windows password reset disk
If you have ever created a password reset disk before you lost your XP password, then you now can use it to recover the password. Specific steps are as below:
1. Start the locked XP machine and at the Windows XP login prompt when the password is entered incorrectly, click the reset button in the login failed window.
2. Insert the Windows XP password reset disk into the computer and click "Next" then. If the disk was correctly created, then Windows XP will pop up a windows prompting for a new password you wish to change. Next, just follow the wizard to reset your forgotten XP password.

B. Trying a professional third-party Windows password recovery tool
If you didn't create a Windows XP password reset disk in advance, then I am afraid using such a third party password recovery tool could be your only choice. However, good news to you is that you can easily and quickly restore the lost XP password with a tool--Windows Password Master.
No matter how complicated your password is, Windows Password Master is able to reset it quickly and easily. It also supports all brands of laptops and desktops, let alone with the outdated models or updated ones, which including Dell, HP, IBM, Sony, Lenovo, ASUS etc.
