I need to hax my own box.

[Elwood]

In what is probably not the smartest move I have ever made, I managed to lose my administartor password. Uh...Anyone know of a program/utility/process I can use to hax my own box and get access to my admin account?



I feel like such a dumbass.

Haven't tried it myself, but looks ok.

I've used that before and had the password broken in minutes. Probably not the cleanest way, since it can mess up any windows encrypted files you may have for that user name, but it gets the job done, and you can always just use it to make a new admin account with a new password, and then remove the account you broke into.

Edit: Oh, and I've gone and made the assumption, but we're talking about XP/2k or another NT based version of windows, aren't we?

...And rightly so... no offense buddy, but what kind of jackass uses a password he can't remember on the spot?

[Elwood]

I've never had this problem before, all my passwords are instantly rememberable...maybe I drank it away. D:

Or use one of the solutions already posted? ;)

Can't you just push f8 or f10 when your computer starts up?
