How can you bypass a windows password lock in a used pc to use it
l purchased a used pc from a yard sale,but it has a password lock on
windows.Since l do not know the password and apparently neither does the
lady who sold it to me,how can l bypass it and get windows to open so l
can change it.l used to know how to do the safe mode thing from the bios
startup,but forgot it.
Once you reach the XP style log in screen, Click ctrl+alt+del.
You should get a choice of writing a user name & a password.
Type administrator & press enter.DO not type a password. U should be able
to log in.
If not, go to another PC & search for Ophcrack on the web.
This program helps get passwords. Download the software & burn it on a
CD. Switch on the computer & change the boot order to CD first. Then open ur PC optical drive & put the CD & restart.U should get ur stuff within minutes. If not, go to this website for more choices ''find.pcworld.com/57946'' Go to the source given below & click the how to button for info.
are you using windows xp? try pressing f8 at boot-up & go to
safemode. it will have the administrator account added to the list of
available accounts. try logging in to the administrator & then clear the
passwords of the other accounts.
now, if the administrator account also has a password.. you have to go
through the windows ''backdoor''. you will be needing just the windows xp installation cd. you need not format.. you just need to rerun the setup. when the setup prompts ''installing devices press shift + f10, & it will open a prompt that has higher priviledge than an admin. just type ''control userpasswords2'' then press Enter, & you can clear the passwords of the existing accounts. hope this helps.. good luck.
A simple solution is to make a new installation of your OS.
You can format the harddrive and install the windows.
cant you just format?
