Administrator password

[Guest]

I am using a Toshiba laptop and have two users, Admin and system, I have forgotten my admistrator password so some changes I need to make can not be done. How can I locate my password or have a new one created. If nothing works then I will just installl the rescue cd from toshiba.
Any help would be great, thnx Tim

This is where the reserve, emergency account called Administrator comes
in. Boot, hitting F8 as BIOS info (Toshiba screen) goes to black;
take Safe Mode, There will then be an icon for Administrator on the
Welcome screen. (If not, hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice and enter the explicit
name
Administrator
and leave the password blank)

In that, Start - Run the line
control userpasswords2
where you can select any account name and Reset Password
