But if you go to Computer Management from Control Panel -> Administrative Tools, you’re able to RESET the password without knowing the current password! However, this way of resetting your password might cause an irreversible loss of information. For security reasons, Windows protects certain information by making it impossible to access if the password is reset. So it’s a risk doing that.
Here’s a better way on how you can hack and change your Windows XP Administrator password without knowing it.
Arash Veyskarami has developed a freeware called XP Password Manager where you can set your new Windows XP Administrator password without knowing the current one. It has another feature where it can also remove your Administrator’s password. Meaning you can login without password.
