Heehee I just had to hack a root password on a Solaris 9 system I was borrowing the machine off a mate for I can practice for my certification stuff. He couldn't remember the password for his own machine

Same here.... I changed an XP Pro admin password and, for some odd reason, when I logged out, it would not accept the new password to get back in!

I used the link above and created a linux boot floppy with a utility that allowed me to blank the password in the XP SAM file. ...... showing that (on XP like UNIX/Linux) with physical access, password files are easy to edit, when necessary.

I am glad. It would have been a nightmare if I could not have found a way back in!

Greetings,

In XP it is possible to reset lost or forgotten password using Active@ Password Changer utility. it is a really useful tool that never failed me before and worked simply great. It is really awesome, you should defiantely try it.
