Solve : Resetting XP Pro Password?? |
|
Answer» I have been given a computer with XP Pro on it. I was not given the administer password (the computer was given to the person who gave it to me, She did not know it either) Here is a previous post on this subject. Dusty Thanks for pointing to that thread (I did search, no really I did ) I have not flowed the links yet but will do so. Thanks Jim Kc8bdr Here check this piece of software out, I am not exactly sure how the demo works cause I have yet to try it but its worth a shot, the full version, well lets just say its about $250.I don't know if were GETTING into the'Twilight Zone',but check the below site. http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htmThanks for all the help however everything I have tried has failed. The computer with the unknown password ignores any CD I put in either of the two CD ROM. And any 3.5 floppy I get the non system error. I have gone in to the bios and checked the boot settings which is A, CDROM, C. I even put my XP Media Center CD that was shipped with my laptop that CD was ignored as well. I think at this point I am going to set this aside, what I will do? I don’t know. I have thought about getting XP home (When I have the cash) just not sure as I suspect will it get ignored as well. Again thanks for all the help. Jim Kc8bdr At least with a real copy you will have Microsoft support. Everyone needs a real Window CD sooner or later. In this case it appears to be sooner.He said he tryed his XP Media Centre CD , that got to be real ... no one would pirate that. Are you sure the PC is set to Boot off CD Rom in The Bios, if its not or cant you coud boot of a windows 98 Boot Floppy , you can download one from www.bootdisks.com and then try to install off the CD the old fassioned way Quote He said he tryed his XP Media Centre CD , that got to be real ... no one would pirate that.

"down load and put on CD" ... I'm curious - what was it that you downloaded? Could it have been some version of Linux that is meant to be burned to CD, for a Live CD? It sounds like it. Got another computer that you can put that CD in and have a look at what is on it? Can you give us a brief, general description? I'm wondering if it is a bootable CD, or if it has one big whopper of an ISO file on it. And while you are at it, on that other computer, might as well see if it will boot that computer. If it is a bootable CD, that would prove it. Quote He said he tryed his XP Media Centre CD , that got to be real ... no one would pirate that. I did double check the bios and the boot order was, A CDROM, C. and I have tried a couple of downloads from bootdisk.com to both CD and floppy. CD’s were ignored and floppy’s I got the non system disk, pleases eject before continuing, message. I am going to try bootdisk.com one last time this afternoon. Thanks Jim Kc8bdr Quote
Both? ... neither CD nor floppy would boot it? This is one heck of a coincedence. There's got to be a clue here. Somebody is going to have an idea on this. Quote Quote Sometimes a person will download the bootdisk program and copy it to a floppy disk. You are supposed to download the file double click on it and it makes a 3.5 floppy disk for you to use to boot with. The below link is the one you need.Remember the file you download is not a bootable file.It is a program used to make a bootable floppy disk. http://files.frashii.com/~bootdisk/alabama/boot98se.exe Quote Quote[highlight]Somebody is going to have an idea on this.Remember the file you Yep. Above, I'd questioned it. I suppose he hasn't had a chance to look and answer yet. I was wondering if he'd find a big ol' ISO file on that CD. Quote He said he tryed his XP Media Centre CD , that got to be real ... no one would pirate that. If it was for a Dell laptop it will NEVER work on another machine anyway, not to mention that it would violate the EULA. |
