How to reset the admin password using the account limited in safe mode?
I use a limited account
I'm in safe mode with networking
I can use the cmd.exe and some features of the control panel
You cannot reset the administrator of a limited account password. You must be logged in with administrative permissions in order to reset the password of any other user account.
Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (it cannot be deleted) using start > run > 'control userpasswords2' to change the desired accounts.
By design, the only way to connect to the administrator account on Windows XP Home is to restart in Mode without failure. For WinXP Pro, by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice at the Welcome screen will produce the standard login dialog box. Unless the owner deliberately value password to the administrator via the Management Console (_not_ Control Panel), it is probably still a Virgin. WinXP Pro ask the installer to set the administrator password during installation, but WinXP Home does not work.
Failing, Linux-based password cracking utility abound on the Internet, available for free to anyone who can use Google.
