Resetting Administrator Password in Windows XP Without Admin Rights

Resetting the administrator password in Windows XP without admin rights can be a challenging task, but it is not impossible. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Boot your computer using a Windows XP installation disk.
2. When the 'Welcome to Setup' screen appears, press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.
3. Choose the Windows installation you want to log into.
4. Enter the administrator password. If you don't know it, just press Enter.
5. Once in the Command Prompt, type 'copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\' and press Enter.
6. Next, type 'copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe' and press Enter.
7. Restart your computer and let it boot normally.
8. At the login screen, press the 'Shift' key five times to open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
9. In the Command Prompt, type 'net user administrator newpassword' where 'newpassword' is your desired password.
10. You have now reset the administrator password without admin rights.

Remember, this process should only be used on your own computer when you have legitimate reasons to reset the password.
