Woops.....Forgot my Password. HELP!!! Quick.

[Haxorious]

I have a Computer with Windows XP Pro SP2.
I have One Administrator Account which is Passworded ( I forgot the password)
I have One Account NON Passworded But is A LIMITED account.

I cant Use the F8 Trick at Startup because i Set A password for the Administrator Account too which i forgot.

How can i Recover my password??

Is there a way to install a Codec Pack i want on the Limited Acount??

Hmmm...I believe that there is a program out there that you boot from a floppy and it will retrieve the the encrypted admin password from Windows data files and put it in a text file, then you can send it to this website and they will decrypt it for you.

there are floppys that will just rewrite the hash with a new password....google for "NT Password Reset" or something like that.

well, you could use knoppix......... here's a video, somewhere near the beginning they crack through the password.....

you can get download knoppix on a different pc onto a cd, and brute-force your way through your password....... but it takes awhile.
