Copy cached Xp password from one PC to another
Hi folks
I have two Windows Xp machines. My account on both machines used to have identical passwords, connected to a domain. I access the network via VPN.
I changed the password on one of the machines (and this change has obviously rolled through Active Directory). Now the other can't connect correctly to the domain. I can still log in to the machine, but when I VPN in it appears to connect but I get messages to lock and unlock the computer. I've done this several times but no luck.
How do I copy the cached password from the one to the other?

You can't copy cached passwords. You may be able to copy the security reg hive from one machine to the other but you would still need to access the registry on the machine you are locked out of. Try downloading one of the many XP password reset disks out there so you can get into the locked machine. Then log onto the vpn with your new password.

I can access the registry on both machines, does this help?
