If you're using Windows XP Professional as a local user on a network in your job, you can create a password reset disk to gain access to your computer if you forget it. Click Start, Control Panel and User Accounts. Click on your account. Under Related Tasks, click Prevent forgotten password. Follow the instructions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk. Store the disk in a safe place, since any user could use a local account.

Forgot your password and can not log in? Do not worry, you can retrieve it with ophcrack. Ophcrack is a program that gets the passwords of the various sessions of windows and Linux too, thanks to the GTK libraries.

Ophcrack is based on an Ubuntu Live CD to crack the SAM file of Windows, which is the managing windows passwords and access time to decompress and decrypt it and thus get all user passwords.

To use it you just download the iso and burn it to cd with a little patience you can retrieve your password in minutes.

When you have many operating systems installed you must select the partition and address of the SAM file which is normally in c: \ windows \ system32 \ config.

The SAM file is a security manager for user accountswhere user data are stored . The ophcrack has a success rate of 99.9% with passwords
