Locked out in a weird way.

Yeah. My computer somehow managed to lock me out in a way I'm not aware was possible...

I'm the administrator on my computer. Somehow, my account was demoted to Limited user, the password removed, and a new admin account created complete with password.

I can't access half the stuff in my comp now! D:

Can you tell me how to bypass the password so I can reclaim my computer?

Thanks!

Haha, that shit happened to me before

If I recall correctly I just formatted the whole thing and reinstalled xD

What OS do you work with?

Oh! and I work with WinXP. -mutters curses at Bill Gates-

I'd rather not have to reformat it or anything... :/

Burn the ISO from the link I posted - you can boot up with that and directly overwrite your password. Then just boot back into windows and use the new password you just set. It works on any windows XP through 7.

Is this even possible?
