password help by Discrate on 12-25-2007 at 07:57 AM
You know when you install xp/vista and it asks you to make a username and password for your computer, is there anyway to go see what both of them are? I made a username and password for my old comp and i cant remember it,but i really need it.
Please help me

You could see the username via various methods like looking at the user accounts on the computer.
As for the password, there is no way I have ever heard of to get the password back from a windows account. Sorry.

The tool I've used several times, with various Windows versions, is ntpasswd. It won't tell you the passwords, but will let you blank or change them.
Also, besides the user account you have forgotten the password for, there is the built-in administrator account that you may have never set a password for (Windows setup makes skipping that pretty easy). If so, that would be the easiest way in.
The Administrator account is not displayed on the welcome screen, but you can press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice and type "Administrator" username at the classic logon prompt for XP Professional, or boot in safe mode for XP Home.
