Forgot the password!

[buzzer]

My son has changed the password on his PC which is running XP pro.

He has messes around trying to get in and changed the user name as well now! Is there anyway to overcome this?

If not, what do I have to do to recover things? I have the XP pro disc…

Thanks

Buzz

did you buy the computer with the software pre-loaded?

Try logging on with the administrator account

download the following cd image - burn it, boot the machine off it and reset the admin password :-)

I have used this to considerable success before. I just love the way it reveals the ##### passwords.

Very clever
