RockXP

Recover your WinXP product code and passwords and save your product activation to a file.

Want to turn your brand-new copy of Windows XP into a $200 coaster? Lose the product key. Without it you won't be able to reinstall the OS. Of course there are places you can go online to find serials and cracks, but that involves rummaging around on the seedier side of the Net. Lucky for you, we dug up a simple solution for law-abiding, non-warez-searching computer, and it'll let you recover your product key, as well as system passwords stored in Windows.

There's not much to RockXP. Just launch the executable and agree to the licensing agreement. You can now access several different tabs. Click the "My Product Key" tab to reveal or change your current key. You can also save your Windows product activation to a file so you don't have to activate it again through Microsoft if you want to reinstall WinXP.

Another tab gives you access to various passwords Windows stores on your system -- for instance, the user name and password to sites you've asked IE to remember. You can also recover remote-access passwords.

The last tab is a password generator that'll help you create securer passwords. You can choose how many characters you want for each password and save your passwords to a list for easy access.
