Resetting the administrator password, Windows XP Pro
If you ever need recovery console on Windows XP Pro, you will know you need the administrator password - this can be easily forgotten!
If you have another account with admin rights, you can easily reset the Administrator account password - without dodgy cd’s or paying other people…
Simply go ‘Start - Run‘ - type in ‘control userpasswords2‘ (without the quotes, with the space, and that’s a number two at the end) and hit enter.
Select Administrator and click on ‘reset password’. Proceed to change the password!
