Answer 1

u r just a big liar , u wanna know password of ur father  

Answer 2

Try going to computer repair center. If your dad has any precious things stored on the computer, tell them to save the memory chip inside the computer. then you have to have a new hard drive installed. Very expensive, but better than buying a new computer.

Alright, first of all i would like to say GOOD JOB :P

alright but seriously, this happens to alot of people. one thing you can do is try to remember hard, some people have a default password. I.E some people use their birthday,mom's name,middle name, first dogs name, a random word as a password. so if your dad does have such a thing then go ahead and try to them. if that fails, ( i am asumingassumingve xp home edition ) go into the welcome screen of the computer and hit control alt delete 2 times. this should bring up a administrator emergecemergencyp. now in the username slot you type "administrator" (no quotes) and the password slot you leave blank. and hit enter with some luck you will be logged into the head administrator now. from where u can add a account or erase your dad's admin password and make a new one. one which you will remember. make sure you write passwords down somewhere.

alright if none of the above works here is a harder but sure to satisfy way.

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)

2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from cd”

3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.

4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now

5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.

6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.

It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”

Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.

7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.

8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”

9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.

10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).

13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

hope i helped
