I have need to use msconfig but I cannot enter the admin password. I can use
the password in other places but not on the initial login screen so I know
the password is still valid. Is there any way to reset the password so I can
logon as admin?

- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this:
net user administrator xxx {Enter}

where "xxx" is the new password you require. If your current
account is an administrator's account then the command will
work. If it is a user's account then it won't.
