Forgot Administrator's Password

[Rob Marks]

My desktop has been in storage for 8 months and now that I
have it back, I've forgotten my password as
administrator. And my hint doesn't help. Anyway I can't
log on. Any other way to get on without the password?

Hei

Nei, jeg er en tålmodig mann, og det går jo raskt med kopier og lim inn
for dette standard-svaret
