I recently inherited a computer with WinXP from a friend and am using a spare
Limited account on it. How do I get the password for the Admin account to
make mine an Admin? I heard of SAM Inside but it won't work as I don't have
access to the SAM file. What should I try next?
 
Hi,

Your best bet would be to format, and create a clean installation of your
own to work with. You were given the installation media, right? If not,
eventually, sooner or later, you will need it.
