Guest voipfc Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Are there some foolproof ways of resetting Windows XP passwords? I have tried a few of the tools out there, and although they work okay with Windows 2000, they appear to find Windows XP difficult. Any real contenders?

I really mean when the admin password itself is lost and there is no way of logging onto the computer. Sorry
