RE: Windows XP Pro cracker?

["news" <news.ajanas () cox net>]

Here is info if changing the password is what you want to do.
Here is an article from security administrator
http://www.secadministrator.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=9528

Winternals ERD commander you can make a boot cd that will allow you to
reset the admin password. Of course that costs $$.
I have seen several Linux boot disks that are FREE that will do the same
thing.  The article directs you to here

Let me know how is works for ya!


You said you have access to run an app on the machine. Here are some
tools if you want to recover the password:

Or if free is what you want try Cain and Able

Changing the password is much faster, recovery requires more time.  Let
me know how it works out for ya!









I need to run fixmbr from the Recovery Console on my Windows XP Pro w/ 
SP1 install and was looking for suggestions of a program to 
crack/retrieve my Admin password for the computer. Of course, I forgot 
to use a basic password I know and I didn't write it down so now I am in

trouble. I have an Admin control level account on the machine so 
authority to run a app is no issue.
Thanks for the help, otherwise I'll just have to keep guessing, change 
the password (don't really want to loose the settings) or reload if the 
password change doesn't take (only seen happen once).
