Re: Forgot Password

I have changed my user account password and now can not remember it. Is
there a way to get past that. My account is the administrator account and I
can't remember the password to my kids account either. If I push ESC/ALT/DEL
I can get to another screen but that also asks for a password and I don't
remember that one either. Please Help!!

If Byte's suggestions do not work then go to
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ . There you will find
zip files that will let you create boot floppy disks or bootable CDs
that will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system (XP is an NT class operating system).
