Gettin around the admin accounts in xp

[twig123]

I must have misread the post... I was understanding that you needed to do a repair install to run that.

Am I mistaken... the only way to get the GUI mode setup IS to either start an install (leaving partition formatting alone), or to start a repair install...

It is good to know that this can be done at this stage, but I see this being potentially dangerous. What if you accidentally format the partition... what if your Windows CD is scratched and you have now copied over corrupted files to the system, it will no longer even boot, where as previously all in working order and just needed a password removed.

I myself have been using the Offline NTPassword reset tool for many years without fail.

Thanks for the info though =)
