I am have some important files on the desktop of the
Administrator Account on my computer. I can still log on
as a regular user under my former room-mate's name,
however we had a falling out and before he left he
changed my Administrator account password. I know for a
fact he did not delete these files. The problem is that
I go to search for them by filename and I can not bring
them up in a search to access them. I have some computer
experience so I was wondering if I download Loph-crack if
I might be able to get into the account? I just don't
know my way around the XP registry or system files that
well. Would anyone be able to help?
