Some days ago, i just got a windows password recovery tool http://www.anypasswordrecovery.com/ which can bypass windows password easily,and it can be burnt onto a cd as recovery disk.If you need,then get it.

Nice idea. I used the concept but substituted the Gentoo based System Rescue CD instead of the Windows XP Login Recovery program. SysRescueCD has a built-in ntpasswd boot option to reset Windows passwords.

The loginrecovery.com website now requires an email address to send you the plaintext password. Try ophcrack instead.

Confession time. I have several VMWare images (Windows 2000) on my laptop which I was using for software development earlier in the year. I can no longer remember the password for any of these images.

Does anyone have any tips on recovering the passwords?

Note that Google says plenty about recovering Windows passwords, but nothing about recovering passwords from an operating system running inside a Virtual Machine.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Stuart.
