password expired in XP, what do I do?
drmlvr:
Crap, XP says my password expired and have no idea what it is. I do not want to reinstall operating system, have files I need to keep. How do I go around this?

Loki:
Never leave files you want to keep in the windows partition!
If you want to recover the files, you could run that harddrive as a slave in an other pc and recover them, or you can use an other drive as master with windows on it (if you have one that is)
After that you can reinstall windows.
How to get past the activation without a key I don't know :(
shmokes:
I have a program called Active Password Recovery. You can put it on a boot disk and it will allow you to reset the password (so there is no password) of any/all the user accounts on your system. I think you can just get it from various places like Download.com, but if not shoot me a PM.

You have no idea how disappointed I was. Cheney comes all this way and most of the aussies on this board probably had their fingers crossed all week that him and little Johnny would go out hunting, but no luck unfortunately. :hissy:
