Admistrator Password

Hi there,

Would you tell me if I can use UBCD to get my Administrator Password, please?

I cannot boot into Windows XP and get this message: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

I insert my Windows cd in order to do a repair but it asks for the Administrator password which I don't have.

I've inserted the UBCD but don't see anything on the menu which refers to password re-setting.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

UBCD includes, among other similar tools, a program named "Offline NT Password & Registry Editor".

Be aware that if you have encription software, you need to recover (not delete) the password, or you wont be able to gain access to Windows.

For more details, including instructions, tips and some alternatives (like Ophcrack), read the topic:
