Come bypassare the password of Windows XP
As I told you at the beginning of the article, to be able to bypass Windows XP password just resort to the use of some special software. You ask me which ones and, above all, how can you use them? Then continue reading: you will find everything indicated in the smallest detail below.
KON BOAT
The first Windows XP password bypass tool you can turn to is KON BOAT: a small software that, by booting from a USB stick or a CD / DVD, allows you to access Redmond operating systems protected by an access key without any effort. Just start it and it does everything. The only problem is that it is paid (it has prices starting from 27 $) and unfortunately it is not available in a free trial version.
Before talking to you about it in detail, it is my duty to make some clarifications: firstly, keep in mind that KON-BOOT does not support BitLocker, so the encrypted files remain encrypted and cannot be recovered (which, however, does not concern XP). Furthermore, considering that some PC protection software could be considered as dangerous due to its ability to bypass system passwords, before using KON-BOOT I suggest you disable the antivirus (and then enable it again later).
That said, in order to take advantage of the program, the first step you need to take is to purchase and download it. So, connected to its website, click on the item For Windows that you find at the top and press the button Buy Now present next to the type of license you are interested in. Then provide your payment information and download the software to your PC.
Once the download is complete, connect one to your computer USB pendrive on which to copy KON-BOOT (the pendrive will be formatted, so make sure it does not contain important files), then extract all the program files in a folder of your choice and start the executable KonBootInstaller.exe.
In the window that is now shown on your desktop, click on the button Yes e poi quello OK, select from the drop-down menu Available USB drives the drive relating to the USB key on which you want to copy the program, press the button Install to USB stick (with UEFI support) and click sul bottone Yes in risposta all'avviso che compare sullo schermo.
In the unfortunate event that when trying to create the pendrive, you get an error message, you can try to copy KON-BOOT to your USB stick using YUMI: a free software that allows you to create bootable USB sticks.
To use it, go to the program's website and click on the button Download YUMI that you find by scrolling the page. Once the download is complete, start the .exe file obtained, click on the button I Agree, quindi quello Create and select the drive of your key from the drop-down menu below the item Step 1, then choose the option Kon-Boot Purchased give menu to tendin Step 2.
In Seguito, Premium Pulsating KATEGORIEN, browse the folder kon-bootCD, type il nome kon-bootCD.iso in the field File name of the window that opened and select the name of the KON-BOOT ISO file from the automatic suggestions that you see appearing below.
At this point, click on the button first Create, by your complaint Yes and wait for the copying of the files to the pendrive to be completed. Once this is done, open the key in theFile Explorer Windows, go to the path multiboot> kon-bootCD and copy the file into it konbootFLOPPY.img found in the folder could-bootFLOPPY di KON BOAT. Finally, go back to the main folder of the key and copy the folder inside EFI found in the folder kon-bootUSB in KON-BOOT. Done!
If, on the other hand, you prefer to create a CD / DVD of KON-BOOT, select one of the options Install to CD and wait for the creation of the KON-BOOT ISO file. Next, burn the latter on a blank disk: to do this, insert a CD / DVD into the burner connected to your computer (If you don't have an account yet and want some advice about it, read my buying guide) and follow the instructions that I gave you in my tutorial on how to burn ISO files.
Once you have obtained the pendrive or disk with the KON-BOOT files, connect the media in question to the computer with Windows XP installed on which you want to work and turn on the latter. If the computer you want to act on is the one you are using, simply restart Windows.
Upon reboot (or startup) of the system, you will see the welcome screen by KON-BOOT. You press a any key on your computer keyboard, select the you account utente (if necessary), leave the field dedicated to entering the password blank and press the key Submit on the keyboard.
If everything went well, within seconds Windows XP will start without you having to enter any password. Be careful though, because unlocking doesn't last forever. If you restart your PC, the Windows password prompt will promptly return to its place and, to bypass it, you will have to use KON-BOOT again.
If, on the other hand, you are not shown the KON-BOOT screen and the computer starts up normally, so you are asked to type in the password, obviously the boot from the stick or CD / DVD. To remedy this, you have to go through the settings of the BIOS, that is to say the software that resides in a chip placed on the motherboard of the computer and that contains all the instructions to start the operating system and put the hardware in communication with the software. To find out how, follow the instructions in my guide on how to set up the BIOS.
