Re: windows xp admin password
Boot into Safe mode, if the teacher has not added used the default Admin account which is hidden on normal boots, it should be displayed in the Safe mode, Login with that account and go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the account you want to remove the password of, and either change the password or remove the password.

Re: windows xp admin password
There was a CD Image out on the net, which was a bootable image. You had to boot with that cd, and it would reset the Windows XP Admin Password.
I dont remember the site right now, anybody here to help?

Re: windows xp admin password
I remember it. It is called chntpw... Just download CD or Floppy image and then reset the password..... You can even recover the password, but that is a little bit more difficult.....
So, you may just reset the admin password and thats it....
Download it from:
