Logon to Windows XP with Secondary Logon without the need to
enter a Password
Dear Readers, if you ever
tried to enter a Windows XP system usually found on Schools, Cafe, Offices,
Work Place etc. and were unable to logon because you didn't know the password
for a specific account available in that system, then this trick may solve your
problem... All you need to do is follow these instructions:
Press " ALT + CTRL + DEL " (Without Quotes) twice at
the logon screen. (Make sure there is no account with name Administrator)
A Secondary
Logon will popup.
In the User field, enter " Administrator "
(Without Quotes) and Leave the password field blank/empty.
Press Enter. It should let you in. ( If not, there is possibility that
the User had set an administrative password during Windows XP Installation).
Q: Want to know why & how this trick works ??
A: The simple
answer to this question is that during an unattended Windows XP Installation or
Installing Windows XP from MiniXP or Certain Modded Windows XP ISO Image*
files, the Installation process skips the User Account Setup and directly asks
the user to Create user account with up to 5 accounts options as you may have
already noticed. This setups the secondary User Account with
Administrative Privileges, while the Primary Administrator is set without
or a blank password which when used with this trick, doesn't require you to
enter any password...
* Modded
ISO Images are modified form of an Original ISO Image file, in such a manner to
allow customization of Core OS that may or may not include features, programs,
customization, personalization, extra drivers, apps, themes, registry hacks,
explorer hacks etc etc.
