My computer is on Windows XP and i have lost my password
and the person that set the system up has actually input
an administrator password so i can't use that.

I have had it suggested that they only way around this is
to do a clean install, my main concern is will i lose the
information i have saved on my computer. I have some
photos which i do not wish to lose.

If by doing a clean install i wont lose the pictures how
do i do i go about doing it?

Thanks
