Many people may feel annoying about forgetting the logon password for XP system, but now I provide a small simple method to help you to solve the problem.
A. Tools needed.
1. One U-disk.
2. USBoot (a facture software for U-disk boot)
3. winRAR (a compression software)
First I wanna to declare that this method is applied to the files with FAT32 format.
B. Clue
It is quite simple, when the logon dialog appears on your machine, asking for password enter. Press [Win] +U to see if the assistant tools manager appears. If the assistant tool does show up, that means the magnifying glass could run. Is it OK that we change the magnifying glass application to other one? Think about it, what will happen if we add user append items? And it is the clue! Now let start!
C. Approaches
1. Make U-disk startup disk. First run the USBoot, then plug your U-disk, select it and click “Start? Format the U-disk, then it will prompt you to plug again. It takes effect 1 minute after plugging the U-disk. And my U-disk is 1G with HDD format.
2. Make file for replacing. We need to make a xx.exe file to replace the original file, but it needs to achieve the requirement of user append after executing this xx.exe file. The first thing I will concern about is to write a batch file:
@net user hack 123456 /add
@net localgroup administrators hack /add
@exit
Save the file as xx.bat!
Maybe someone will ask: what we need is a xx.EXE file, why should we make a xx.bat file?
Actually, executing xx.exe file is equal to xx.bat execution. And we need winRAR to achieve this goal. Make a self-decompressing file with winRAR, isn't it similar to change the xx.bat to xx.exe? xx.EXE file execution is equal to executing xx.bat file. (copy the xx.EXE file to your U-disk.)
3. Replace the file to CMOS, change the first boot up as USB-HDD, save the setup----plug the U-disk, enter system directory C:WINDOWSsystem32, copy magnify.exe007magnify.exe (back up for magnify.exe, which is the magnifying glass application). Copy the xx.EXE file on the U-disk to the directory of system32, and modify it as magnify.exe!
Then change to boot up from hard drive! When enter XP logon dialog asking for password, you just need to execute the magnify application! Press Ctrl+Alt+Del combination (twice), then you can enter the system with your hack account! Enter to modify the password of administrator!
Then we successfull
