When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank.

1.press F8 immediately when you start your computer and choose safe mode.Or Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press Ctr+Alt+Del keys twice and it will show Classic Login box.

2.Type “Administrator” (Without quotes, Note: Do this If you do not know any other administrator user account,) in Username box and leave Password box field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.

3. Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts”.

4. Pick an account you want to change.

5. Change your user account to a computer administrator or create a new computer administrator account.

Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.

If you unknow the admin password and can not login,you can try these methods:

Method-2

Use windows password reset disk to reset your lost password, before this you have to create a password reset disk in CD or USB Flash Drive.

When you input a incorrect password or leave it blank,click OK the system will prompt you whether to use the password reset disk, click it and then you can do follow the guiddes.

Method-3

Delete SAM files In Windows NT / 2000 / XP, system uses SAM(Security Account Manager) to manage the safety of user account.SAM uses Security Identifier to perform Account management. The Security Identifier was create with the user account, and once you delete the user account, the SID also be deleted at the same time. One SID with only one account even if the same user name created in different time will with different SID. Therefore, once an account is reconstructed, it will be given a different SID, and won’t keep the original jurisdiction. SAM perform with %System Root % system32configsam file. This file is a Windows NT / 2000 / XP user account database, all user name and password and related information can be stored in this file. Now a solution appears: We can delete SAM file, then start system, it will rebuild a clean SAM file with no password inside.However,even if you delete the SAM, some systems will start to go wrong.

If you cannot access system as administrator or have not created a password reset disk, you can use the third method. But this method is complicated that you have to boot DOS and it will make the system in risk.
