In that case:
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type CMD
4. Click OK
! --- <a black window should have opened> --- !
5. Now type the following: NET USER admin *
6. Now change the password to ur desire

Hi m8 ,

I mean just 4 Administrator not for administrative priviliaged user
How do I get the "Administrator" name on Welcome Screen?
================================================== =====

To get Admin account on the "Welcome Screen" as well as the other usernames, make sure that there are no accounts logged in.

Press "ctrl-alt-del" twice and you should be able to login as administrator!

finally worked for me after I found out that all accounts have to be logged out first Or go to safe mod u can see there .

Here's a little trick. But useful only when you get the admin password once:

Ask your friend the administrator password once then boot with floppy drive and copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam file to floppy disk and ask him to change the password afterwards..

Whenever you want to access his computer just replace that SAM file with your SAM file located in floppy now you can login with your old password!

Its better to delete the SAM file and reset the password instead of replace tingy.

hi mate.
it works in win 2000 also.
but you can't change the administrator password while logged in as user or guest

[Thilak]

Hello ,

I repeat onesmore it does"nt work when LOG IN as a user

It works only in "ADMINISTRATIVE privileaged USER" only. Suppose If it is working in ordinary user modu --- What is the privasy of this OS ????

Why don"t u thinking in a manufactorer of OS side????

Don"t make self as aselfish man

Have a nice day

hmm if theres a way to recover password of a windows installation that got corrupted?I mean I cant boot into that installation of windows anymore and want to use recovery console but dont remember the admin password.

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

well here is one more

net localusers Administrators (username) /add

makes u the administrator of the PC...these commands work only on XP....mind it...

[~Phenom~]

Age old stuff for me.
I can even break any pwd ( no matter windows or linux) , without the need to be logged in in advance.

[ruthless]

Well you can also create a password reset disk
