Guest orange2310 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Got this xp machine in which the user A has limited rights. I cannot access as the 'Administrator' and now it will not allow me to try as I have exceeded the # of tiies. Now how can I get access to the Administrator apart from reformatting the pc.Thank you.

Hi orange2310 Try this: Offline NT Password and Registry Editor: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Be sure to read the author's instructions first :-) Good luck, let us know how you get on! -- Nightowl

Guest orange2310 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Re: Forget the Administrator password Already tried leaving it blank and it does not work. Now reading the article 'Offline NT Password ..." seems a bit confusing to me but will try. Thank you all for your time.
