Windows XP passwords December 2, 2005

Don’t ask why - but I had need to reset an Administrator password on a Windows XP workstation today.

I had forgotten the password, it was locked out, the machine wasn’t in AD - and I was stuck.

Luckily there are a wealth of tools to help in this situation - including this. Petter Nordahl-Hagen has written a stunning Linux based boot floppy that just fixes things like this in seconds. Thanks Petter.
