My girlfriend cant get into her windows xp and the password hint dont
help.
We tried pushing the f8 button but it wont let you . The screen is the one
where you pic a picture/Icon for your login name and you click on it and
enter your password. What can she do? We really need to get into that
computer.
Typically for XP Home, you need to boot into Safe Mode and use the built-in

Administrator's password is usually blank (no password) unless someone has
change the password for the built-in Administrator.
