How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine

I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem.  Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password.  I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.

How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?

Can I use a password reset utility?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards

If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.

  • OfficeJet PRO 8600: Reset the administrative password on an Officejet PRO 8600

    I lost a large part of the contents of a Mac 4 years when an electrical short burned inside in a way that Apple could not determine the cause. The end result is that I found that the administrative password for my 8600 died with the old Mac that I have been unable to recover the keychain that had all the information a password in it. I wish now that more importance was pointed out in the instructions when passwords have been set up, on the future need for them to use as many important features of the printer.

    I would appreciate much all guidanc I can get in how to reset the administrative password of my 8600.

    Hi @Redwoc,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you are trying to reset the administrative password for your HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I'm happy to help you!

    You can do a reset of the printer using the LED screen on the printer. Select Configuration, then Tools, then restore the default settings. "Restore default settings" is the last element of the list, and then you must scroll down to see it.
     
    This clears all the settings of the printer, including the administrator password.

    I hope this helps!

    I couldn't find one in the warehouse so I did not test this.

    Contact HP and they should be able to send you a file custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.

    When you talk to the HP rep ask them to increase your service request.

    Or download these files.

    Insert a clean USB flash drive.

    Then run USB Image tool.

    Choose the flash drive, and then click RESTORE.

    Remove the flash drive after the restore.

    Insert a locked in a portable flash drive and boot. "If the HARD drive is installed remove before start".

    Hello

    Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or EliteBook have more strict security consumption patterns - they do not produce "stop codes", the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a nonvolatile memory to remove the RTC cell does not reset the password in this case.

    If you contact HP Business support, they may be able to file a custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.

  • 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.
