thanks for everything. i finally found the password. for
some strange reason, the Administrator i was on completely
pooched itself (i don't know how). luckily, i also backed
up the ORIGINAL Adminstrator that was first on the the
computer 4 years ago when we first got the darn thing.
man i tell ya... the only way we found THIS was by going
back in time, trying all passwords we ever used. it just
so happened to be the very first password we put in!
i didn't try the link, so i can't comment on that. and
the repair disk(s) i used couldn't help either.
the other things that could have worked would be the
following....
1. completely reload windows, lose all personal files i
had stored.
2. buy the XP upgrade disk ($150-$200) and upgrade the
whole computer, resetting the password and keeping all
stored files i had.
luckily we didn't have to go either route. THANKS
EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP!!
Kevin.
