How does windows xp one computer one cd(license) really work?

You’ve got a few different questions there, so let’s see if we can simplify this a bit.

1) When you install Windows XP on a PC, it create a record for itself of the hardware within that PC, along with activating Windows. That hardware record can be modified by making some changes to the hardware over time (something like adding a video card or a hard drive).

2) If you reformat and reinstall a copy of Windows that requires activation, if you do it more than once in 120 days, you will not be able to activate it over the internet, and will have to call Microsoft at the appropriate phone number from the list provided through the activation window.

3) If you purchased a copy of Windows XP to install on a PC and you later want/have to replace the PC with a new one, and the new PC does not have Windows, the conditions in point (2) apply.

I changed a password for a user in Windows XP Pro but now login to a database fails;how to get old password?

Turn on you computer and once you see the first thing pop up, log into safe mood (i think you hit F8… look it up) then when your in safe mode you can change your password and do whatever you need to do. Dont listen to this guy above me. Kubuntu is very advanced and uses Linux operating system in some ways. Save yourself some time and your computer and do not download this if you don’t completely research it and know how to use it first.

How to get windows xp pro sp2 to accept new product key?

A product key only works with the copy it is provided with. To use the new key you need to install the version that came with it. If you already had XP installed it would have been easier to simply use the Microsoft updates version, which runs on your original key.

How to wipe the existing windows XP off of my computer?

To format your harddrive you will need to get a recovery disc or a Windows CD.
No boot disc is necessary unless you are trying to install Windows 95.
The recovery disc will usually come with your computer, if you dont have one, you will need to call your computer manufacturing company and order one.
The recovery disc and the windows CD will partition your harddrive and it will wipe out your memory and start from fresh.
This will kill all the viruses and other harmful agents from your computer.
You should get an antivirus and pest control to avoid these agents from entering your system after you reformat.

Can Windows XP Home Edition be repaired with an XP Pro disk?

No an xp pro disc cannot repair a home edition.

You can however upgrade to xp pro and THEN repair your files you won’t lose anything that way.

To upgrade you just put the xp pro cd as you would as if you were installing a game or any other normal piece of software.
