Windows XP Learning Script Recovery System User Password

With a method that does not require third-party software to recover the administrator password, you can see how this trick is.

Windows XP startup scripts are batch files that are run before the computer appears on the login screen. It functions like Windows 9× and the autoexec file batch autoexec.bat in DOS. With this feature, you can write a batch file to reset the user password and add it to the startup script, which is the purpose. The following are the specific steps (assuming the system directory is C:\\Windows).

1. Start the computer with the Windows 98 boot disk. Write a batch file a.bat that can recover the password. The content only needs one "net user” command: "Net user rwd 12345678”. The meaning of this command is to set the password of the user rwd to "ldl; 12345678" (for the usage of the Net command, refer to the Windows help). Then save the file a.bat to “C:\\windows\\system32\\GroupPolicy\\Machine\\Scripts\\Startup”.

2. Write a startup/shutdown script configuration file scripts.ini. This file name is fixed and cannot be changed. The content is as follows:

[Startup]

0CmdLine=a.bat

0Parameters=

3. Save the file scripts.ini to “C: \\winnt\\system32\\GroupPolicy\\Machine\\Scripts” The scripts.ini holds the setup data for the computer startup/shutdown script. The file content usually contains two data segments: [Startup] and [Shutdown]. The [Startup] data segment is the startup script configuration, and the [Shutdown] data segment is the shutdown script configuration. Each script entry is divided into two parts: the script name and the script parameter. The script name is saved under the XCmdLine keyword, and the parameter is saved under the XParameters keyword. Here, X represents the script sequence number starting from 0 to distinguish multiple script entries and flags. The order in which each script entry runs.

4. Remove the Windows 98 boot disk, restart the computer, and wait for the startup script to run. After the startup script finishes running, the password of the user rwd is restored to “12345678”.

5. After the login is successful, delete the two files created in the above steps.

Description: The computer uses the FAT32 file system. If you use the NTFS file system, you can attach this hard disk from disk mode to other computers that recognize NTFS file systems (such as Windows 2000 or Windows XP). Do the above. This method can restore the password of the administrator (Administrator). Password recovery for local computer users and domain users in Windows 2000 systems is also valid.
