I have VIRTUAL PC FOR MAC, with XP, installed on an APPLE G4 eMAC.
using netscape and safari together with MAC OS X .3.9

I open the PC List & double click the virtual machine.

Then I click 'start up'.

A page appears which says, To begin, click your user name.

After the word adminstrator, there is a box which says,

"type your password"

There is a small icon of a quitar, a box for typing in and a box, with
a green background, with an arrow for clicking on.

Since I do not recollect this password I am unable to click the arrow
in order to continue. It has been many months since I have activated
this Virtual Machine For Mac application ; naturally, in the
interim, I have misplaced the password.

Problem:

Where, in the system files, is the password to be found ? In
otherwords, how do I navigate in & through the vast system files, in
order to recover the page with the password on it?

Help!!

Thank you very much for your patience and assistance in this 'finding-
of-my-password' matter.

Try leaving the password blank and log in. If that does not work, you
are SOL and will need to create a new virtual machine. There is NO way
to retrieve the password from outside the application
