Hey,
A friend of mine has forgotten his password. He is the only user and therefore the Administrator. Is there any way to retrieve or reset his password? It's a Windows XP machine.
Thanks,
Leon

There's a tool called Ophcrack that can crack most windows passwords reasonably quickly. I'm not sure if it does Win 7, but as you said it's an XP machine then it should be fine.

I've used Ophcrack fairly recently on a XP machine and can confirm it does the job fine in a fair amount of time![]()
the other way it to just reset the password rather than crack it
give this a try:
