You've posted to a very old thread and what's worse, you've responded to
a spammer. There is no reason to ever pay for a password changer
program. See below.

If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user account
with administrative privileges you can log into that account and change
your original user account's password from the User Accounts applet in
Control Panel. If you don't have another account like this set up or
don't have the password to it, you'll need to log into the built-in
Administrator account. In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do
this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up.
This will get you to the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key;
the mouse will not work here. Once in Safe Mode, you will see the
normally hidden Administrator account. The default password is a blank.

In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen,
do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in
"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up Windows.

If you reset the built-in Administrator account's password in Home or
have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the
built-in Administrator account's password to a blank.

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Then go to the User Accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords
that you will remember and make other desired changes. WRITE THE
PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

To change the built-in Administrator account in XP Pro if you can log
into another account with administrative privileges reset the password
in the Local Users and Groups snap-in in Microsoft Management Console
(MMC):

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type "mmc" (without the quotation marks), and then
click OK to start MMC.
3. Start the Local Users and Groups snap-in.
4. Under Console Root, expand "Local Users and Groups", and then click
Users.
5. In the right pane, right-click Administrator, and then click Set
Password.
6. Click Proceed in the message box that appears.
7. Type and confirm the new password in the appropriate boxes, and then
click OK.

thanks,

I ve just fiished making the boot disk and copied the unzip file to another
one.
hope I'll recover my admin. acc.

Just one Q. why the ISO image doen't show a one when i unzipp the file to a
folder on my hard drive ? is it because i don't have any burning software
installed or something else

what do you recommend sd i have two CD/DVD IDE drivers available for
recording TDK AID-440 Indi MultiFormat & LiteOn Multi DVD-RAM so I can create
an ISO image for better compatibility and security in booting up in DOS

thanks, for the warning label "spammer what can we do about it ?"

You must have third-party burning software installed in order to burn an
..iso. XP's burning capability doesn't include this. You cannot simply
burn the files to CD; this will not create the bootable CD. You must
burn as an image, not data. Here is a link to a free CD/DVD burning
program that will be able to burn an .iso:

I have a piece of info (in text) regarding XP made DOS boot floppy disk

Before I begin let me share this,
I believe you really deserve some money ... from all of us here and a big
thank you for your free piece of software .. nice work in DOS ! hope it will
work in ISO for better and faster compatibility with my Award BIOS setup
(Boot order)

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here. OK, you made a bootable

I have no idea what you're talking about here. NTpasswd isn't mine and
it doesn't work in DOS. It is Linux.

No DOS. Linux. If you could restart (get into Safe Mode), then what are
you using NTpasswd for?

I really don't know what you're doing. I believe we probably have a
language barrier. My guess is that either you have SATA drives not
supported by the floppy version (it doesn't have all the drivers that
the CD has because of size) and/or your partitions are messed up. But
that guess could be completely off the mark since I'm not understanding
your post.

Again, I have no idea what you're trying to convey. I thought your issue
was that you need to change the Administrator's password to get into
Windows. If you have some other issue, then you should make a new post
clearly explaining the problems. Possibly it would be better to post in
a newsgroup for your native language. Here is a list of all the MS
newsgroups:

http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

The alternative is to 1) test your hard drive to make sure it is good;
2) if the hard drive is good then restore your backup image; 3) or take
the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local
version of BigComputerStore/GeekSquard) and have them take a look.

I'm sorry that I was unable to help you.

oh, my mistake then

I just wanted to reset my Admin password & actually just did it with
Password Changer 3.0 (boot CD program)
I thought this program NTPasswd (boot F.D & IDE/SATA drv. disk unzipped)
could work also with XP SP2 Prof. but I now understand it's for use with
Linux kernel OS

I can't/don't know how to make a bootable CD with CDBurner XP ver.4 I've
tried and burned one .ISO file <cd070927.iso> on CD but it failed to
boot-maybe something went wrong in writing the image to disk at once or
something i missed.

anyway thanks for your time and quotes

Mihalakis

does this also apply for the CDBurner ver.4.0.022 ?? because I have use it
with no problems so far ...

McAfee System Guard Protection asked me if I wanted to accept:
User_Feed_Synchronization-{30E3CCD7-52BB-4824-88BD-BB5076DAAD79}.job
which is apparently a "task object" (I think?) under C:WINDOWS\Tasks\ and
having to do with the process System 32\svchost.exe version 5.1.2600.2180,
"Shared Task Scheduler".
(1)What is this? I said no I don't accept, because I didn't do anything new,
didn't know what new task was needed, but is it needed? (2) Then I was
surprised the McAfee report/log noted my nonacceptance as a system guard
-change in future behavior... Can anyone clear this up? Thank you.

DOS boot disk and a tool such as Ranish Partition Manager. This will of

reinstalling Windows, then all of your software.

Alternatively you could change the hard-disk if you feel that's easier. At

Obviously depends how old the PC is.

Whatever you do, check any other places the malware might be lurking, such
as programs on removeable media, etc. otherwise it may just get back onto

Hi Anteaus - Thank You.

My printer/fax isn't working anymore - I noticed in McAfee log, I had
outbound acitivity from my Lexmark Communications to Hariban/Tokyo, amoung
various other acitivity.
It's funny (or not so funny) - whatever I download to remove it, it tracks,
and then the scan won't complete or if it does, it hides - because I see it.

Why are you still using your infected compute then? Don't boot via your hd
until you got rid of this thing.
Burn a rescue CD at another computer - get UBCD4win, that comes with AV and
anti-spyware - boot from CD and try to clean up, or nuke your installation
and start from scratch.
Good luck.

Oh, and if you just want to start over, you can of course also boot from your
XP installation CD. Make sure to delete the existing partition/s, create (a)
new one(s) and format.
Or get a Linux live CD - an OS on a CD that works without installation - and
repartition your hd from that. Ubuntu comes with a nice graphical tool called
gparted.

In any case, do NOT boot into safe mode from HD, ONLY boot from CD for now!

You may have to change the boot sequence in your system BIOS. If you need

packages. This, and Norton, I woudln't give elbow-room.

Basically, as Niniel says, the first and most important thing is to boot
your computer from clean bootable media. If you prepare DOS or Linux media
for this purpose yourself, this needs to be done another PC, one that's known
to be virus-free.

Using the Windows disc is a reasonable option so long as you make absolutely
sure that you do a fresh install to a formatted partition, and not an 'over
the top' install, which will not clean the disk. That assumes you have a
Windows CD, of course, not all machines are supplied with one. If not, you
would in any case need to beg/borrow/buy one to do the reload, as it would
not be wise to assume that any hard-disk recovery partition is uninfected.
Preferably get one of the same type as your licence key, (Usually XP Home
OEM) so you can reuse that.

I'm gonna have to call Dell. I tried changing the boot sequence yesterday,
not working. This virus even tried changing the process in one of my many
anti-spywares and cut out using my CDBurner/Printer/Fax.
But, I say better safe than sorry. I'd rather wipe it out!
I's 4 years old, already my second time clean slating it. Wasted too much
time trying to remove it, 2 weeks now. Could've wiped out and re-installed
everything by now.
Besides, I have a turkey to cook thursday morning, only 2 days left to fix
this hemmoroid. =]
Thanks Niniel!
