  • XP admin userid/password

    Just out of idle curiosity, is there a way to recover/determine what the Admin info is in XP (assuming you're signed in as Admin already)? I've done a little looking, but not a lot.

    Reason I ask is that once in a while when shutting down instead of turning itself off the machine puts up a sign-on screen for Admin. I've just flipped the surge protector on/off switch to turn the machine off and I've never had any trouble, but now I'm curious. I don't think I recorded that info anywhere findable when I took this machine out of the box and booted it for the first time. Dumb, I know, but I'd been without access for several days and my mail was backing up.

    I haven't used it, but there's a bootable CD somewhere that allows you to recover the password. I'd do a google for "password recovery". Try this link.
