RE: Windows XP Pro cracker?

["Bob Beck" <goodfela26 () finneganfamily net>]

I have on Win2k. Works like a charm. Although, as I stated before...on one
of the machines, it didn't like that I changed the password to anything
other than a blank. Setting it to blank the password worked like a charm,
and the utility even tells you this. To blank it, use * for the password
when asked to change it. Works like a beauty.

If someone tries this on Windows XP or 2000 w/ syskey enabled (which it is
by default), let me know.

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).

Logan
