The other day I got a call from a friend who had
managed to forget his administrator password to his Windows XP
computer.
My heart sank as I told him it is almost
impossible to access hi PC now as this was the only account on the
machine, and with no password Windows XP was not going to let him
in!

Forgotten XP
Password...
As I stared at my mates computer and asked if he had ever made a
Password Reset Disc I already knew what he was going to say...
This situation reminded me of asking many
friends for their latest data backup CD/DVD when their computer
crashed and need a rebuild - they NEVER have one!!!
...well a quick check on Google and I found a
great service that could just help my mate out.
This site provides a tool to recover lost
Windows XP passwords - YEAH!
It works for administrator and user accounts, it
doesn't change the password just tells you the old one. It works
with encrypted files (EFS) and password hashes.
There is a free service as well as a priority
service that will retrieve your passwords within minutes. The fee
for the priority service is very cheap, and is really just to cover
server costs.
I went for the paid for service - on HIS credit
card and within minutes we had the administrator password staring
back at us on the screen....
This is one site you are going to want to keep
in your bookmark list :-)
