You can use a bootdisc.
Although Offline NT Password & Registry Editor tells you more.
I have used the floppy disc version of this and it worked well.

Cheers - it's a Dell Latitude and doesn't have a CD Rom drive - it comes as an accessory - if I downloaded this Ophcrack onto a memory stick would it still run?
Cheers, I don't know what a cd ISO image is? I take it is something that acts like a cd Rom so the computer boots up the program on it?
i once took the bios battery out of the motherboard for 20 mins then put it back in and the password thingy disappeared
dont forget to switch off and unplug and dont touch anything else
before you do it.
dont forget to switch off and unplug and dont touch anything else before you do it.Actually it's not, its stolen property (called "theft by finding").
(And I'm not suggesting that the OP stole it lol).
How inconsiderate of the person that threw it over the hedge not to leave a DVD ROM in it.
Re-boot then keep pressing F8.. choose safe mode from the options.. when log in comes up try signing in as "administrator" don't enter any password and click enter...you might get lucky... if it works you can go into "users" and delete any passwords.. if this don't work whiz it back over the hedge you found it in... it may have top secrect military information on it that some government official left on a bus.

That is the BIOS password though not the windows password.

It's obviously a work pc - as it appears to be part of some network as has more than 2 passwords! I thought of handing it in to the cops, but I bet it would be put in storage as they wouldn't bother hacking the password, then sold off cheap at some auction! So why bother handing it in!
I already have 2 Laptops and 2 Desktop PC's - this one I found though is a very small one that can fit in a small bag, think that is very handy for carrying about in a bag! Yeh they should have made sure the computer had a external CD Drive with it.

Thanks for the offer Neil, but I don't live in the area - I'm down London. I went in a few shops asking how much to open Windows XP Professional and the price is about £40:00.
I would have thought there is a program that can simply allow one to change lost passwords? Does it exist? the other option is just to reintall the operating system from scratch?
OK thanks but how do you make a memory stick install that program like a CD Rom would, as I said it has an external CD Rom cost about £50:00 which I don't want to buy unless I get it working. So do you have any advice on how to make a memory stick install the program for cracking codes - like a CD Rom would? Help much appreciated
