FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 1, 2009 -- I've been working with passwords each day at home, at work, in my BlackBerry. I've been using so many service online that it has become very unlikely to keep a record of all passwords. I'm currently using more than 20 websites that need authentication. Aside from that I also keep private and delicate info on my computer and I want to protect my operating system with a password and also enable other user account since lately we share one PC with my husband.

It is known to all that password is the very important access to PC. If you forget all about it, you can recover windows password by removing SAM files. Well, the password of Windows XP is put in the SAM file of Windows/System32/Config. SAM file is the account password database file. When we log on the system, the system will proofread immediately with the SAM file in the Config. You can not log on till your password and user's name are found the same as that of SAM file. If not, you are unable to log. That is to say, we are able to restore it by deleting SAM files.

Another way to reset windows password is like this : Windows has an incorporated feature that creates a floppy diskette that helps you reset your password in case you don't remember it. This feature is accessible from Control Panel in the User Accounts applet. To form a password reset disk,click on the user account and click'prevent a forgotten windows password'. You'll need one blank formatted floppy disk to finish the task. Keep the floppy disk in a secure place for use in case of a forgotten password.

When entering the windows password reset disk into Windows XP, press the key combination'Ctrl + Alt + Del', there will pop up a window of'Windows Security', click'Change Password', in this window, you can backup the existing user password, then click the'Backup' and turn on'Forgotten Password Wizard' and set up password reset disk by following the clues.

If you log on with the wrong password in the Windows XP, there will pop up a box of'Login Failed'. And if you cannot remember your own password, you can click'Reset' to start the password reset magician and reset the new password by the password reset disk.

However, not everybody ; is using Windows XP. Other Windows systems have alternative ways to recover Windows admin password. If all of the above doesn't work for you, it is strongly recommended to download a Windows Admin Password Resetter.
