Hi! So my sister isn't very computer smart and asked me to find out the password our parents set for her computer. So does anyone know how to get into the windows user files? She has Windows XP Media Center Edition. Please reply
There is an admin pass. She doesn't wanna reset it; she wants to find itEdhel said:It might be possible to log into the administrator account if a password hasn't been set for it (which is a very common mistake).
# Restart the computer.
# Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE two times on the login screen, and then type the name of the administrator user account. Usually this would simply be Administrator
# Leave the password section blank and press enter. If it fails to login then a password has been set for it.
There are ways to reset the password on xp, just not entirely sure about the steps involved....
It gives the pass? I thought it just loads linuxsylux92 said:I think ophcrack should give you the password.

You missed the obvious (and 100% true) case d; there is no "sister"kobykaan said:a) you did not give a reason why they did it !? and they MAY HAVE a GOOD reason to do this!
b) It sounds like to me you just want the password so you can use it! is that why?
c) For what little you have told us for all we know it could be a stolen computer/laptop and you just want in as its still password protected!
