RE: Windows XP Pro cracker?

You can also use the solution from http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

It says it works on XP. I've used it to reset win2k administrator passwords.
The best solution if you use it is to blank the password, as changing it to
something else sometimes doesn't work.

I need to run fixmbr from the Recovery Console on my Windows XP Pro w/
SP1 install and was looking for suggestions of a program to
crack/retrieve my Admin password for the computer.  Of course, I forgot
to use a basic password I know and I didn't write it down so now I am in
trouble.  I have an Admin control level account on the machine so
authority to run a app is no issue.
Thanks for the help, otherwise I'll just have to keep guessing, change
the password (don't really want to loose the settings) or reload if the
password change doesn't take (only seen happen once).

Logan
