Re: Administrator password

Ricky,

This was most helpful. I'll try this at work in the next hour. I should
have stated earlier that I'm trying to "repair" windows, and keep getting an
"Administrator password".
Thanks for trying to help,
'Tom

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that and it brought me to a dos
prompt.

Try leaving it blank and hit enter.

I am trying to reinstall windows xp, and come to a dos screen asking for
the administrator password. I don't have a password. Any help would be
great.

Thanks,
Tom
