Yes. It is very trivial to reset the admin password in Windows. (Or put the
drive in another machine.)

I've browsed through various Windows docs and can't seem to get a
simple answer to the following question.
I've always used third-party encryption software to encrypt sensitive
files on my laptop in case it was lost or stolen but I'm wondering if
that's really necessary. My question is, if my laptop is lost or
stolen and I have a password on the administrator account and password
on my user account, would someone be able to access my files somehow
if they're not encrypted? I'm using XP Home and can't use the built-in
file encryption available in the Professional edition.
