yusmol Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I already activate my windows xp home edition, and after i reformat my pc it ask for activation key. How can i bypass it and how to change the cd-key. I can call microsoft and ask to activate with phone but i own 25 pc and each time reformat my harddisk, for sure it will ask for activation key.need to save cost on phone call.

firefoxthebomb Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 If your copy is Legit, and it was activatied for that pc, then call Microsoft, and there is no charge for the phone, it is a toll free number. We do not discuss anything on this forum on cracking or bypassing activation to copyrighted software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0pect8 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 You can backup the wpa.dbl file and restore it.... found at \System32This is MACHINE SPECIFIC, which means it will only work for that machine!**Keep in mind this technique allows you only to reinstall XP on the same computer - it isn’t a hack to pirate the OS! Since you’re using the exact copy of XP that was previously installed the original Wpa.dbl will be accepted and you won’t have to go through all the hassle of re-activation.
