How to break an Administrator password in windows XP
Hi,
I have a big problem. I have rejoined one of the PCs from Domain.
I need to be an Administrator to join the same PC back to the Domain.
Unfortunately we don't know what the password is.
We don't have any password recovery disks
I have tried to change the password under CMD but whatever I do , Access denied !
When I plug in an USB disk I need to provide administrator password !
I run a software called OPHCrack (linux) and it has found everyones password appart from Administrator. I tried to loggin to the PC leaving password section blank. It didn't work
PLease help. I need to get this PC back up and running as soon as possible today.

Do you want to break into Local Administrator's password or Domain Administrator's password?
The software I recommended previously http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ is tried, tested, readily available and has been recommeded on EE many times.
