To gain access to the Windows XP system, when you’ve lost the password, you can do these things.

Reset the password


If you have any other administrator account besides your own, you can ask the other user on the system to reset your Windows XP password from the control panel. Or you can yourself use the following dos command to reset the password:

Net user “username” 123456

Replace the ‘username’ above with your username on the pc and 123456 becomes your new password. Now you can access your account using your new password (123456).


Recover the password (if you have access to internet enabled computer)

If you want to recover the password, you can use Login recovery for this purpose. Download the image file from there. Put it up in a floppy or burn it into a CD.

Start your computer using the newly created floppy disk or CD, your encrypted password will be automatically saved to the floppy disk.

Then upload the encrypted password file (A:\UPLOAD.TXT) to Login recovery and enter your email address. Your password will be emailed to you. Now how simple is that.

Rapidshare is still the biggest file upload site on the internet. It is also one of the messiest and hard to work out sites that I came upon. sad

There is no way to search for files hosted on Rapidshare.com itself. The only way that was known to me was to use a Google search exclusively for Rapidshare. (site:Rapidshare.com keywords)

This is not an ideal situation, many links found by Google are already dead at Rapidshare and the overall process takes too much time.

However, you can use other websites which provide the facility to search Rapidshare for files and you can be sure that the links are not dead. smile

Searching Rapidshare using Rapidfox

You should be very cautious downloading anything that has an executable from Rapidshare, make sure your virus scanner is up to date before you start unpacking and installing files.

I personally think that Rapidfox offers a good alternative to Google searching Rapidshare. One should also consider that files uploaded to Rapidshare are supposed to be private.

It could very well be that a user uploads a full version of a software that he purchased because he wants to install it on a different computer as well.
