I think this has to be one of the best windows tricks I have learned till date coz it really works like a charm. With this you can easily hack anybody’s XP operated PC by Logging into their User profile and actually changing their password. You can also use this trick in case you forget your own password. But make sure not to misuse it.
Hacking Windows XP Account Password – How to Change Windows Account Login Password You Forgot
1. Restart you computer
2. When booting, press F8 and select “Safe Mode“. Tip : Boot Windows In Safe Mode
3. After getting to the User (Administrator) menu. Click on a user and this time it will not ask you for a password.
4. Go to Start>Run and type CMD .
5. At command prompt type in cd C:\Windows\System32, (Where C put your system’s HD letter,I am assuming C is your System/Windows Drive)
6. For safety purposes first make a backup of your Logon.Scr file.. You can do this by typing in Copy Logon.scr Logon.bak
7. Then type copy CMD.EXE Logon.scr
8. Then type this command in step 9, I will assume that you want to set Administrator’s password to NewPass
9. Now, type this in net user administrator NewPass
10. You will get a message saying that it was successful, this means Administrator’s new password is NewPass
11. Restart the PC and you will login as Administrator (or whatever you chose to reset) with your chosen password

SolidBlogger : Hi Debajyoti,
Correct the command prompt command in step 5. It's not cd C:WindowsSystem32 but cd C:\windows\system32.
May be you did a typo while writing.

youtube to mp3 converter : You do know that Apple didn't innovate by building the iPad right? You can thank Paceblade for the first tablet, and Fingertouch for the first finger-touched based UI. (not requiring a stylus). I guess you can even consider the 1989 Samsung GRIDpad as the first portable tablet even. Not that the iPad is not a great device, and has brought large-scale-tablet computing to the masses. (small-scale-tablet-computing would probably be the PalmPilot).
Bhaskar : What about hacking administrator pswd......dis trick will not work if an admin pswd is set.
