Hello

I have Windows XP Home Edition. I have recently acquired the computer.
But, unfortunately I do not have the details like Computer Administrator
User Name and Password. I log in as a Guest which only gives me limited
privileges. I want to add and delete some drivers which I cannot do as a
Guest.

How can I find out the Administrator User Name and Password ? Please help.
Thank you.

Regards

Either contact the previous owner of the computer and
ask for the Administrator's password, or be prepared
to reformat the drive and reinstall Windows XP.

It can be done easily enough though due to the nature of the beast I'm not
going to go ahead and give easy directions. There are third party
applications which will retrieve passwords for you for XP. There are
legitimate and illegitimate uses for them however and for the sake of
humanity I hope that you will take the time to diffentiate and insure that
you're not violationg the End User License Agreement (EULA) by doing so. A
modified or simple seach at www.google.com will show you the way...

Make sure to disable things like scripting before you go wandering around to
all the sites it's going to take you to.
