Stop Paying for Windows Security; Microsoft's Security Tools Are Good Enough - Security - Lifehacker. I Forgot My Administrator Password! Can't Log On to Windows XP?
Editor's note! Millions of people have used (or tried to use) the method detailed in this article to get back into their password locked computer...and many of them have done it successfully. Unfortunately, I also regularly get emails from users who have attempted this technique and were not successful. They then email me asking what to try next! In fact, I was planning to just add the link to a Windows support group, so people who can't manage this process can just go there and avoid emailing me when it doesn't work!
