Password Reset

[Guest]

Hi,

If I forgot my password for logging into a Windows XP workstation using the
Administrator username, is there a way to reset the password or somehow
logon? Or do I have to reinstall the XP OS? This is a stand-alone
workstation (not part of a domain).

Thanks.

Hi

You can create a bootable CD or floppy on another computer and put
a password reset utility on it.
