Win XP pw recovery

[ibsys]

Hi, I have a little problem with one of my clients VP who thought that
he could administer his laptop.
He was playing with the changing his laptop from domain to the
workgroup and as a result lose all the user ids associated with this
computer including a local and domain Administrator IDs – I had to
give him these passwords a while ago.

Right now the laptop is in workgroup and no id can be logged on to the
laptop ïŒ.

There is a couple of thing I would like to attempt to do:
- somehow recover an admin id to the system so I can recover the data
- Is there any way to reinitialize the system w/o installation a new
Windows XP

Thank you for any suggestions

I need the answer to this too. Somehow, I got my laptop with XP Home back
from my cousin, and it now has the ASP.Net Machine Account ID at the start up
screen. I don't know the password for it, and any of the other ID's that I
do have the passwords for, are not working - therefore, I'm unable to get
onto my laptop at all.
Thanks, Melissa
