I've since moved on to Win11 but sometimes I still miss XP. RIP.

Heh. User with password. That didn’t matter so much on XP. It was remarkably easy to erase or reset a password on WinXP.

I believe chntpw still works on Win11 even! I know I've used it on windows 10 to great effect

You can easily do this on Linux too if you have physical access to the hard drive and it isn't encrypted (which is default on most distros).
