When my daughter was 12 she knew that if you disconnected
the battery in the hard drive you could by-pass the
passwords. Now that she is 18, I am in big trouble. She
knows way more than me and I can't seem to keep up
anymore. She has already rendered one computer unusable.

Windows XP Home Edition is on the computer and I can't
access anything. She has shut me out of everything so if
I want to stop her ability to use the computer I can't.

Is there any information available to help me out. I am
a single mum with no extra money and so can't afford to
get in touch with Microsoft directly or use any of their
services other than this one.

I would also like to know if there is a way without her
knowing to stop access to inappropriate sites. She
allows her friends to use the computer and I have no idea
what sites they get into not to mention all the junk she
puts on it herself.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to ask your question in a more appropriate newsgroup. This
newsgroup is dedicated to the database product, Microsoft Access.

To the Newsgroup I apologize. This newsgroup seemed the
most appropriate to me and did not indicate in the title
that it was solely for database questions. I have
redirected my questions to another newsgroup in the hope
that someone will answer my questions.
