Forgot my login password

[Guest]

My girlfriend cant get into her windows xp and the password hint dont help.
We tried pushing the f8 button but it wont let you . The screen is the one
where you pic a picture/Icon for your login name and you click on it and
enter your password. What can she do? We really need to get into that
computer.

Typically for XP Home, you need to boot into Safe Mode and use the built-in
Administrator account to reset the password for a user. Also the
Administrator's password is usually blank (no password) unless someone has
change the password for the built-in Administrator.

I did go into safe mode and when i tried logging in as "Administrator" with a
blank password something popped up saying "unable to long you on because of
an account restriction". Now what do I do?

Now you can return the computer to the person who really owns it so that THEY
can user "their" computer.

And stop stealing computers!
