sanjoa Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hi, guys! How you doin'? I've got a problem with Win XP at my mom's computer: I can't delete admin password. I've restarted it in safe mode and there is not admin account besides her account. I created another account and I can't delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl@pSh0ck™ Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 what do you want to do exactly, delete just the password or delete the admin account? :blink:If you want to delete that admin account...you have to create a new admin account .. login from the new admin account then delete the old admin account from there.

sanjoa Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'd like to delete the account I've created (I've created it to try to delete the pass) and I want to delete the password of my moms account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl@pSh0ck™ Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I don't know if I am getting you right ... there is no way you can delete a password, you can change it but I dunno if you can delete it. :fear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*dcs18 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Run the following command from your new Account (hope your new Account is an Administrator Account - this command does at times work from a Standard/Restricted Account, though.)Net User YourDearAunt'sUserName AnyNewPasswordYouDesireThe above changes your Aunt's password to the one of your choice. Then login to your Aunt's Account with the new password you used to run the command and you'll find that you're able to delete her password from the 'User account' under 'Control Panel.'. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanjoa Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 No prob.I can't connect two computers with a VPN. Mine's (server) is using Windows Seven X64 and the others WinXP Pro x86. I can connect to one (using for testing, once it stars working I'll config the others), but internet connections falls down. And when I try to connect this computer from the one with XP I've got an error message 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
