Re: win xp user password

Resetting your BIOS won't help with a Windows password. The BIOS is totally
separate from Windows. Check your motherboard manual to learn more about the
BIOS.

There is software that will enable you to reset your Windows Administrator
password. From there you can access the Control Panel->User Accounts and
reset the password for your user account. Download this file and read the
