HOW TO REMOVE FORGOTTEN PASSWORD ON WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION?

HOW TO REMOVE THE PASSWORD IN WINDOWS XP.

If you mean a Windows password and not a hardware password, then:

A. Si the password for the built-in account named 'Administrator', Microsoft's strategy does not allow for advice on this subject which will be discussed in these forums: Strategy of Microsoft

B. Si the password for any account Windows XP, and then connect to an account with privileges "computer administrator", go to control panel > user accounts and change or remove the password.  If you do not have an available with privileges "computer administrator" user account"AND you have not used the account named 'Administrator', you can find it as follows:
         
In Windows XP Home Edition, restart in Mode safe mode by pressing the F8 key immediately after the power on sequence.  If the Windows logo appears, you've waited too long and must try again.  In Safe Mode, Administrator indicates on the Welcome screen.  The default password is blank (no password).

In Windows XP Pro, either use Mode safe mode as above, or with any other connected accounts welcome screen, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE.  The classic logon box appears.  Enter the administrator user.  The default password is blank (no password).

    You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files.  What makes you think do you?

    [The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup.  My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application.  I propose the following actions:

    Acronis True Image Home 
    Paragon backup and recovery home
    Casper 6.0
    Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • How Downgrade Satellite A100-411 for Windows XP Home edition?

    Hello

    I just bought this laptop soft which has Windows Vista installed.
    Unfortunately, I have to install Windows XP, but in the download section there is no drivers yet for this specific model series called PSAARE.

    Are there other drivers series there?

    Hi Gerhard

    I m surprised that you want to downgrade the OS for XP because most of the people here in the forum ask the Vista upgrade and Vista drivers!
    However, I think that most of the devices or parts are the same in the books series A100 and in my opinion you should try to use drivers from another A100 series
    Before installing the driver compare the portable devices and if another computer laptop uses the same device then you can also use the driver
    Good luck

    Things will be difficult if we know the methods of Toshiba pass reset once we forgot password for Toshiba laptop! Be sure to share them with your friends!

    Thanks for sharing this, but we always talk about password of Toshiba, it won't and I think this might be a bit confusing, it is of a workaround for the windows user account password.

    As much as I know there is no password defined by Toshiba.

    The user can define the user account password in windows if necessary so that this workaround solution describes how to remove a user account Windows password that is common to all computers with the preinstalled Windows operating system.

    However, thanks for posting ;)
