[Guest]

I am administrator for my laptop, and have lost the password. I am the only
admin on the laptop and the only other account is Guest. Guest cannot access
the internet.

How can I get into my Admin account?

I am administrator for my laptop, and have lost the password. I am the
only admin on the laptop and the only other account is Guest. Guest
cannot access the internet.

How can I get into my Admin account?

In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly
tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to
the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not
work here. Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden
Administrator account. The default password is a blank.

In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen,
do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in
"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up
Windows.

If you reset the built-in Administrator password in Home or you have Pro
and have forgotten the password, use NTpasswd to change the built-in
Administrator account's password to a blank.

Once logged in, go to the User Accounts applet and set passwords that
you will remember.

Greetigns,

I recommend you using Active@ password changer tool to quickly and
easily reset your forgotten pass. This tool worked great for me before
in a simmilar situation, so that should really help.
