How to Recover Lost XP PRO Administrator Password - Followup

Thank you Shenan and Jupiter for you informative resonses. I had difficulty,
perhaps because of the sata RAID O configuration of the hard drives - I
couldn't find the path to the registry. I searched web -many expensive progs
and some freeware. Found NTFS.COM - a freeware bootdisk ntsf reader. Perfect.
Read the file where the password was written. Could have worked with the sam
file also. It was really fast and easy - NTFS.COM - again - thanks for your
help so I didn't do anything rash or expensive. Bill in New Mexico
