I am the administrator and can't remember the password. Can I get it back again?

Please help, Frank




Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account and reset the password of the desired account(s).

By design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.
