The net user command is used to add, remove, and make changes to the user accounts on a computer, all from the Command Prompt and we'll use this command to change the system's accounts password.
But What if we just forget the passwords? So, below are 8 ways starting from easy to moderate level to crack or reset the Windows XP administrator password. Windows XP comes with a hidden Administrator account which can be accessed by following ways so that the lost password of other admin accounts can be changed from this default Administrator Account.

After doing 1 and 2 above, you will need to restart every affected machine on your network to assure they receive the updated settings.
