    xp pro password

    I fixed a friend's pc that had a bad video card, wouldn't boot, but she forgot her password. I tried using a password reset tool on the ultimate boot cd but it didn't work. Are there any good software reset programs for this?

    Good luck.

    You can also get the UBCD for windows and there is a plugin that can be installed with it that will reset it. I have had 100% success with it.

    I use ERD Commander, it works like a charm and has a number of useful tools as well as "locksmith", which unlocks passwords.

    Big fan of ERD as well.

    We also use a custom-made boot CD which has a number of Windows password revealers / resetters, but I still prefer ERD's interface and tools.

    Since WinDrivers only supports legitimate use of software, this is the only type of download we would direct you to.
