How to bypass login

Clarifications

You won't crash Windows by trying to use your password, although you may get locked out if an administrator set an account lockout policy on a Windows Professional or Business version.

Anyway, we can't help you bypass or hack a password on TechRepublic.

Equally stupid to forget your password.

Unfortunately we cannot know your motives in this matter, whether you are the genuine user or someone just trying to break into someone else's account, so we don't answer any queries AT ALL regarding the circumvention of passwords. Period. :)

The members of TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover a password. However, we cannot verify your motives and will therefore not assist anyone in what may be an attempt at gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. Due to the open nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that we the members of TechRepublic will not take. Please do not ask questions of this nature on TechRepublic.

If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery issues should be taken up with Microsoft's technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, etc.. To those viewing this post: Please DO NOT respond any further to this thread.

[b]Contact the Maker of the system you are using and ask them for a Possible Solution here though I believe that will require you to take this unit to an Authorized Service Center where it can be proved that you actually own it and they may clear the Password or they may reimage it depending on how busy they are at the time.[/b]
