These files cannot be decrypted as they have one-way encryption but they can be accessed offline to reset the passwords. The net user command is used to add, remove, and make changes to the user accounts on a computer, all from the Command Prompt and we'll use this command to change the system's accounts password.
But What if we just forget the passwords? So, below are 8 ways starting from easy to moderate level to crack or reset the Windows XP administrator password. Windows XP comes with a hidden Administrator account which can be accessed by following ways so that the lost password of other admin accounts can be changed from this default Administrator Account.
Just enter the user name as Administrator and hit enter. Now enter net user and then hit enter. It will show all users on this machine. It will ask for a new password, and then you can enter a new one as your wish. From the next login, you will have to enter this password for the respective account. Restart the system press the F8 key to boot in safe mode from there log in Administrator Account without a password.
This is an easy way and mostly works if the default hidden administrator is not changed. But then all of a sudden this damn need for a password for XPMuser. I did make a recent change to the Auto Publish feature, when trying to learn about how it worked.
I'm wondering if that change somehow triggered the problem. I've got to resolve it because I'd already started using and updating data. Any other ideas out there. I'm pretty desperate. Friday, January 22, PM. CAMUSO, Couild you elaborate on what you wrote above; "launched an application labelled 'xp mode' not the VM which boots and presents xp desktop but a 'normal' seven window as a 'native' seven application ; ' I'm not sure I'm tracking what you suggest.
I have the exact same issue! I installed the Windows XP Mode and was never even prompted for a password during installation.
It now defaults to XPMUser with no password. I'm guessing a bad Windows Update. Sunday, January 24, AM. I'm lighting up another XP test box right now I can now sign in as XPMUser after setting the password. I hope this helps or adds to the grief Saturday, April 3, PM.
It actually asks for the password when setting up the VM -- it doesn't default to the host's password Did not work for me. There are come tools used to reset windows user password. So reset password, then reboot VM. I was able to log in as XPMUser, without password. I set new pass and now is everything fine. Thursday, April 22, AM.

Wednesday, September 8, AM. Thanks Jas what is the problem? Monday, October 4, AM. I, too, was never prompted to enter a password during setup.

When I fired it up the first time it was prompting for the password. I came across this forum and tried the Disabling the Integration Features on Startup Then booted the VM and it still prompted for the password so I clicked Tools and Enable Integration Features again and it logged me straight in.
Thanks Everyone for the ideas. Tuesday, April 26, PM. Restart the Windows XP Mode. When the Boot Menu appears at startup, press F8. Note: Keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears. Log into Windows by using the Administrator account and password.

Choose the user you want to modify and Click Reset Password. Set a new password. Click Advanced tab, Click Advanced button. Click Users. Choose the user you want to modify in the right pane. Thanks for your feedback. Is there a way to find out what the Adminstrator account password is?
This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question This will open a command prompt window. Once the password is confirmed, it can be used to access the account. Method 2. Reboot your computer. This will open the User Account Control Panel, where you will be able to reset any password by selecting a user and adding a new password.
Method 3. Find an existing Administrator username to use if possible. There is no password set by default on the administrator account, so this can work unless someone has already configured a special password for the Administrator account.
In some cases, there will be no password assigned yet. If you need a password, assign one to any existing username while in the "safe mode with command prompt": Restart the computer while tapping the required, special key to activate the startup menu. To find the special key for your computer, try tapping a key rapidly while rebooting. Try Esc or F2 or F8 or F10 and watch for the menu to show up on a black screen if you don't know that special key. Alternatively: unplug the electrical cord of your computer while it is running -- wait about 10 second -- then replug it.
Now boot it again, and it will usually display a startup menu to choose normal or safe mode for startup. Select the username to be assigned the new password. Type shutdown —r when you are ready to restart your computer. Method 4. Ubuntu is recommended by experts. Put the disk into your CD Rom drive and restart the computer. Access the live Linux desktop. This will open the location bar. A list of hard drives will appear.
Mount the Windows drive. Double-click the Windows drive. Write down or copy the full path that now appears in that window.
