    Windows XP , Forgot "BOTH" my user account password and my administrator password.


    I have an obviously older Dell laptop, with the original Windows XP. I have researched as much as I possibly could, only to find myself in a never-ending circle of "that did not work"! This Laptop was used for all of my homework assignments and especially papers, essays, research etc. written for my BS degree. Because of health reasons, this was a major accomplishment for me. Now that I cannot work any longer, I'd loved to be able to access these documents to glance back at what my mind set was at that time. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE response with Instructions that actually work.What I have trie

    :)

    You need to boot into Safe Mode. Do this by mashing F8 when the computer is starting, right before Windows loads, until you see a bunch of options. Select "Safe Mode". It'll boot into Safe Mode, and bring you to the login screen. At the login screen, go in as "Administrator", and from there go to the control panel. In the control panel, open "users", select the account you forgot the password of, and click "remove password". Restart the computer and all will be well *Smile Windows XP , Forgot "BOTH" my user account password and my administrator password. :).

    Forgot my password

    If you don't already you might consider using a password manager. In addition to online usernames and passwords you could store your Windows user name, password, and PIN there. If you ever forget this information you could log into the password manager on your phone and retrieve it there.

    When Windows is installed the first user is of user type Administrator. Additional users are of user type Standard unless the added user requires otherwise.

    There is also a built-in user named Administrator that has a user type of Administrator. By default this user is hidden but you can un-hide it if you wish using your regular account that has user type of Administrator.

    Code:
    On my desktop I log in using my password. On my laptop I normally log in using my fingerprint. The fallback is my PIN and then my password.

    The accounts on my laptop including the hidden Administrator account.
