Change Passwords in Windows Xp

All ways to change the passwords in Windows.

  1. The normal way
  2. CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
  3. LUSRMGR.MSC
  4. NET USER
  5. AT (Advanced)

The Normal Way
The first way, What i mean with the normal way? Just like is said it. Its just the way how Microsoft would like you to do it to come here goto: Start > Control Panel > User Acccounts, this is actually the same as, the command "control userpasswords" that can be put in the "Run" dialog (Start > Run)

Control Userpasswords2
Welcome to second alternative, the little brother of "the normal way", this way is meant for administrators, when entering the command "control userpasswords2" in the run box (Start > Run) a little app will appear that looks like this:

now Click on the administrator account > Reset Password and this will appear:

(no further info needed I guess xD)

Lusrmgr.msc
This third alternative is not the best one. its a bit complicated but not very handy, actually that pass can't be changed here.
goto Start > Run and enter the command "Lusrmgr.msc" now this shows up:

now browse to "Users", and click the "Administrator" account, now you can change some things, like disabling it. not very handy imo

Net user
This fourth alternative is the most stable and handy one imo.

go to Start > Run and enter "cmd", then when the command prompt opens, enter "net user" and you will get something like this:

now you see a list of the usernames present on the computers, also the hidden are show'n

well, changing a pass is very easy, enter "net user [accountname] [password]", i.e. "net user Administrator roflpwned"

SIMPLE BUT USEFUL!!

AT (Advanced)
The fifth alternative, this one is very lame actually, its a bug in windows that allows you to go into the hidden "SYSTEM" account

Goto Start > Run and enter "cmd", then when the command prompt opens, enter "at" and you will probably get the following text:
"There are no entries in the list.", lets make a change in that

enter: "at time+1 min /interactive cmd" ex: "at 14:15 /interactive cmd" (when its 14:14!!)
when its filled in in the right way this message will appear: "Added a new job with job ID = 1"

now when the next minute goes in you will get this:
img
now enter: "taskkill /f /im explorer.exe" to kill explorer.exe

after you did this enter this:

"explorer.exe", now explorer will restart and your in the system account, feel free to change anything you want because the account does not have any limits!
