I've been having a clearout and found an old Asus laptop with Win XP Pro installed that i last used about a year ago. The laptop still works and asks for the bios and boot passwords which i can remember. When i get to the log on screen i am met by a message saying my old password has expired and to reset it by entering my old password and then the new, unfortunately i cannot remember the log on pass word. I seem to recall somewhere that there is a utility for resetting the password from DOS using a bootable disk if memory serves me correctly.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks for the useful site link, i did find some info that got me in, and it was a bit shocking how easy it was.

Most administrators never set a password on their administrator account, like i did, only for other users, all you have to do is go into 'safe mode' which bypasses the logon screen (any user) go straight to settings and users and just simply delete any user password and for the administrator just change the password, its as simple as that, ive just shown my partner how easy it was to get into his laptop and change the admin password.

The BIOS info was very usefull, ive cleared another laptop i had forgotten the BIOS password for many thanks. This is where i found the info...
