Here you can download a bootdisk that can change passwords in windows NT and 2000. I have tested it in both NT and 2000 and it works.

I have windows xp and i just changed my computer the other day to set up pass words for my children. Now, I can't even get in!! I'm the one with admin rights, too. I tried accessing the system from DOS, (I appear to get into regedit ok), FIND, etc but it wont let me make changes since I'm not an admin. There was something I clicked on when I was changing the user info - something asked me about extra security or something pass word to get in and I remember being baffled and not sure what it was asking me. I wonder if I accidentally clicked something as YES that I shouldnt have. Needless, my typical pass word should not have changed. I'm wondering if the file might be corrupt. However, I have a medion computer, and I'm not sure how to use the recovery disk since the cd's are not labled well. I don't want to overwrite my personal files (registry, programs, who cares - just not my work). Will reinstalling the XP windows only reinstall system files? Will my work be safe (word files, geneaology etc)? How do I go about doing this? Thanks.

That didnt work - but i was able to put the stuff from admin into another users folders but for some reason it wont let me access it in my own acct. I can read it, But i can't save it and print it. I've reset passwords deleted them gone into safe mode - still says access denied when i tried to copy all my files to disk - really odd and when i log into regular windows mode my file and admin are not int the log in area, why is this?

Aren't there commands like in xcopy or chmd that will strip away hidden access privileges? This is for XP only
