Default Removing the Administrator’s Password in Windows XP

Hello. In my school’s computer network (as in most schools in the world) you can only access to the computer with an user account. Of course user accounts have some restrictions which we don’t want. I’ve found out a really simple way to remove (or change if you want) the Administrator’s account password. Just follow these few easy steps:

I Log on with the user account (mine is Student).

II Go to the Control Panel (’Settings’>'Control Panel’). If you try to access ‘User Acounts’ a warning message will prompt which says that you can access to this only via administrator account. So we will use more complex way (yet simple enough for understanding) to do the same.

III When in ‘Control Panel’ go to ‘Administrative Tools’ (if in category view: ‘Performance and Maintenance’>'Administrative Tools’) then to ‘Computer Management’. In ‘Computer management select ‘System Tools’>'Local Users and Groups’>'Users’.


IV Right click on Administrator and select ‘Set Password…’. A new window will appear:


Leave the fields blank and click ‘OK’. This should remove the Administrator’s account password. If you want you can change it, but I don’t advice you to do that into your school.

This has worked in my school, but I’m not sure will it work on any computer. Some computers may have more tight security.

  1. There’s a better, and easier way of doing it:
    1.Go to Start>Run
    2.type cmd
    3.In the Commmand Prompt type “net_user”
    4.now type in “net_user_administrator_*”
    5.press en ter twice to reset the password or enter your own pass
    N.B: “_” represents spaces, it’s there to avoid confusion because of possible text wraps
