Any easy way to do that?

very easily especially if you can log in with another account

- Allow you to display system password (LSA)
- Allow you to generate random password

there is a cracking little tool i cannot remmebr the name of at this time, basically it's a boot floppy that lets you change the admin password in XP. if you think it might be useful i'll try to look it up.


the most powerful tool i know for that type of thing is LOphtCrack, iirc it was free and then it was bought by Symantec and renamed LC 5 and cost an arm and a leg to buy. but it is pretty much the best windows based password cracker on the planet.



if you have locked yourself out of the computer (dont know any pass), then let us know

Mmm... I can use the other account but can't use the main admin account. For the love of god I can't remember the password.
