How do you bypass the admin password on Windows XP Pro SP1?

Answer

Not sure about pro, but winxp home you can enter safe mode. to enter safe mode hit F8 every second or so until you enter safe mode this will bypass the log in, you should beable to get access your computer from there. please only do this on your computer

Answer

I think you have to go into safe mode with command prompt. The command prompt will pop-up before the logon screen. This is the only way I know of to even get in without knowing the password. However, you will have to google for additional help beyond that.

Answer

You can also try booting up a Linux "live boot" cd. Try downloading phlak or knoppix (phlak.org and knoppix.org respectively) and burning the .iso image to a CD. Next, put the cd in your drive and reboot your computer. Tell the prompt that comes up that you want to load that version of linux. After it loads, right click on the Desktop and find the menu that allows you to open XTerm (root). This should bring up a DOS-prompt-like console. Type "mount -o rw -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1" and press enter. Then type "cd /mnt/hda1/windows/system32" and press enter. Finally, type "chntpw sam system security" and press enter. This will let you modify and delete the administrator password on the computer without knowing anything about the system (except that it has windows installed on the first hard disk, it does not have a RAID array, and it is using some version of Windows XP/NT/2000).

Answer

Why would only have SP1 when SP2 is out there? Unless your running pirated softwar, or go out and pay the $100 to get a legit copy of windows. Get the updates get your SP2 when you load don't enter a admin. password, it's simple
