Password not accepted

[terrydoughty]

My friend has moved home and has set up his PC at his new home.

When requested for his password he typed in the one he has always used for the last few years but it is not accepted.

Is there solution to this?

The password will not have magically changed; so your friend is most likely typing the wrong password in, or the keyboard got damaged on the way.

Worst comes to it, you can reset the administrator password (I'm assuming it's a windows login you're after). Googling for 'reset windows XP admin password' etc will give you a plethora of results.

Passwords don't magically change, so there is something else wrong going on there.

Was your friend's computer connected to a Domain and then removed form the Domain at some point?

Sounds to me like your are fishing for a way to break into someone Else's computer, and that's a big no no in this forum.

Thank you.

He was able to log in using some software downloaded by another friend on Google search.

It was a password he had used previously and was reminded of it when using software.

This was a genuine lapse of memory by my friend - not an attempt to get into someone else's PC.

Thank you for your replies
