- Hoping someone here can help me with some advice.
- Posted by BobLondonKy on August 4th, 2005
Hello,
I need some advice.
I was given a computer with windows XP Professional on it.
There are two ways to get it to work.
One being to log on as a NLC Youth, and two to log on as a NLC ADMIN.
The second one you need a password. Which I don't have.
I went back to the Bennett Center here, and asked for the password. The
person who would have has left the Center, and deleted all information.
I can not reinstall Windows XP as I don't have the CD for that.
I am wondering If someone could tell me how to locate the password on this
computer? Would it be somewhere in the registery ? Would there be a
freeware program that could do this for me? Is there somewhere on the
internet that I could find this info?
Thanks in advance for any help
Bob,

No matter what happens someone will find a way to take it too seriously.

I'm not certain that you have a license for XP then. Can you possibly
get it from the center? That is, make certain the machine came with a
license even though the install media was missing..

I think there are 2 ways to solve your problem,
NLC youth isn't a local administrator (i think) so you can't add a new
user (otherwise you can add a administrator and you're problem is
gone).
If you have a serialnumber of XP on the back of your machine, you can
call Microsoft and you will receive a new CD (i did, because i had the
same problem).
Otherwise you can download Windows XP pro , burn it on CD. Before you
install it again you must write down the serialnumber used on your
machine. Use ProduKey v1.02
(http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product...y_viewer.html). The program
is freeware.
I hope you solve your problem quickly,

would you? I know what the password was, I suspect my teenage son figured it
out and then logged in and changed it in the parental control panel.

Thank you very much Sam. I did send a note to Derald explaining to them.
I did feel hurt about what they thought, but must say that I kind of know
where they came from as there are so many deceptions everywhere on the net.
One just doesn't know whom to trust. I just wish that he could have gave
me the benifit of the doubt. I now have the password thanks to Mary Lou
Woods of the Bennett Center here in London, and I do have a license for XP
Pro. .
