I forgot my windows XP administrator password and the returned solutions "access denied."

I tried all of the following without success.

Since your account invited > start > run Type "cmd".

Once command prompt opens type

NET user comments / add an administrator

Press enter

It works on computers pretty much all that I tried, it elevates the guest account to Administrator status, where you are free to edit and change things, that you must change.

OR

Since your account invited > start > run Type "cmd".

Once command prompt opens type

NET user administrator (or the name of your administrator account) *.

Press enter

You will now be able to enter a password for this account. Confirm the password and Voila! You should now be able to log on to your account with the password that you set.

OR

System startup and when you see the home screen, press ctrl + alt + delete twice and it'll show a connection box. Now type administrator username and leave empty Pword. Now, press Enter and you should be able to open a session.

Now you can reset your password from the control panel and user accounts.

OR

Enter SafeMode to restart the computer and press f8 repeatedly until a screen somes up which gives you a few options, use the arrow keys to the forts of the 'start windows in safe mode' when you start windows in safe mode, you will see a new account on the login screen, titled administrator , click on it, there is no password (unless you have changed it).
