You cannot delete or alter the administator password, the only way to do this is to reformat and reinstal windows, but normally when you are asked for the administrator password, you just press enter, unless the password has actually been set when originally installed.
Just remove the CMOS battrey and it will not ask for password.
Jsut format the c: drive and you have no other option
For all intents and purposes, you can't that I am aware of. Essentially you would need a lucky guess. Now, I'm not sure if you intentionally or unintentionally left USB drive (pen drives) off your list, but if you intentionally left them off, then you could potentially use utilities on them to access the system and reset the passwords, but this would seem to break the "without using software" qualifier.
Well its not that simple and its not that hard eather..u dowload ophrack live cd burn it on a cd and boot it..its that simple and folow the instuction..
guys i have new trick 4 u but i hope it will be a secret this is used in haking stuff i will tell u some of it and hope u will have wat it takes!..ok lets start first there is 2 many backdors in windows xp..if ur problem is in the adminitrative user password its a bit tricky but it works..ther is many way u can do it just take the easy 2 for u.....
This one gives you full read/write access, and admin access. It does not work on Windows 2000 anymore.
So, you sit and stare at the login prompt for a while, and the screen saver will come up. Here comes our attack. We replace the screensaver with a different program which will not ask for a password.
Usually you can log in with a guest or regular user account. Do that and go to the directory \Windows\System32 and replace the login screensaver with the command line prompt.
cd \Windows\System32
ren logon.scr login.bak
copy cmd.exe logon.scr
To save time, you might want to change the time out in the registry from 900 seconds to something shorter, but that goes to far in an epinion. (search under \HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT)
Then reboot, and just wait for the screensaver to come up. It will be the command line prompt and you'll have access to the computer. Full access! You can run the user manager, create a new account and give it admin privileges or just change the admin password...
Also don't forget to restore the original screen saver.
by the way 4 the 1 that have problems or questions asked while booting i have somthing 4 u 2.....while bootong hitt the esc button like 100 times as quiq as u can,,or f12,f11....or ctrl a...something will happen..and if problem with dos password open ur case remove the bios battery 4 1 or 2 hrs it somtimes takes 1 day and try again

How would someone who works on pc's NOT know the answer to his own question?
Personally I wouldve have even mention default is set to blank, sounds more like a question someone with a stolen pc might ask to me.
There is a program out there floating around that is called Password cracker XP. This is a Linux tool that will find the SAM file and display all the user names and passwords. It will also allow you to change the password for a user.
I can assure you that this is a way. But that's all I'm willing to tell you, but I'm not lying. I just don't want to give out the secret.
HP Tech Spt told me how to do this on a 6310US Desk Top.
Open the case and look at the lower left corner of the MB you will see a jumper for resetting the password.
