OK...here's the deal. I have an old Pentium III/Windows XP Home
Edition comp that I have replaced with a newer Dual core/Vista comp.
My girlfriend asked me to set up the old comp for her to play games
on. The problem is that when I boot-up and it gets to the welcome
screen, I can't remember the username and password that I used to
use. Its been over a year since I used this old comp. I tried
rebooting in safe-mode and entering "administration" in to the
username box, but before and/or sometimes after I click on "ok", the
comp reboots automatically and it won't stay in safe mode. What
gives? I have tried every solution that I can find listed within
this forum, but can't find an answer to fix this issue. Do I need to
re-format the hard drive? If so, can I do that without opening
Windows? Can I do it with the XP installation disc? Do I need to
use this comp as a boat anchor? Its a good comp and I can't see
junking it just because I can't get "into" it. It seems that with so
may people offering advice on issues, there has to be someone that
can help me resolve this problem. If anyone needs more info, please
reply and I will provide all the info that I can. Thanks in advance
for any help.
Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ . There you will find
zip files that will let you create boot floppy disks or bootable CDs
that will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system.
