The Ultimate Boot CD allows you to reset the Administrator's password to whatever you'd like it to be. Simply download and burn the ISO, reboot your machine to boot from the CD, and run the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor to reset the password.

for future reference. If you have a sibling rivalry (which was my case) and you want to get on their computer, but they passworded it. Just reboot in safe mode, and remove the password all together. :)

Do you mean without being intrusive? without actually being inside the account?

Question then,

What prevents ya from dling Ultimate Boot CD and using it on some random person's computer?

(Heh sry, saw the post from afar, and looked pretty interesting.)

well to tell you the truth you dont need a boot cd to get on anyones computer. But I am sure this is not the place to be talking about this, if we have solved the problem.

tried rebooting in safe mode (F8) but it still presents the same XP log-in screen - is there another way of rebooting directly into safe mode, bypassing the usual XP log-in dialogue?

[lloyd]

this is a misunderstanding. some computer you can boot in safe mode and no password, it is because they did not set up the build-in administrator password when they install the system ( they may forget set that password). in that case, acturally you can still log in as build-in administrator without password even it boots normally, not only safe mode, by twice ctrl+shieft+delete in login interface on XP. if the build-in administrator is protected with a password, you can not login even you boot it as safe mode.
i got a job at the beginning of this year. the previous tech guy suddenly left and did not give me any password. i used that software to change the password, i tried many times on different system, and i never loss.

twice cntr+shft+del doesn't do anything different for me. the first instance of this sequence opens the log-in window, doing cntr+shft+del again doesn't do anything different for me

"twice ctrl+shieft+delete" is used to change the "welcom screen" to traditional log-in screen.
if yo have already been there, try administrator and blank password.
like i said, if your admin is protected by password, you can not bypass here, even you boot from safe mode.
