forgot password

[mike piper]

I forgot the only administrator password. Have 1
restricted user that I do have access to. Anyone know how
to reset computer or have any fix what-so-ever?

Hi,

Give the following stpes a try. It invloves installing windows to a new
directory and then transgressing your info across.

1. Insert your Windows XP CD.
2. Restart the machine.
3. Press the key specified to enter your BIOS. In most cases you need to
press Del to enter the BIOS setup. You should see a message on startup, right
in the beginning, which says something like “press <key> to enter setupâ€.
E.g. Press Del to enter setup.
4. Go into either the Boot section, if you have one, or the 2nd option
(should be something like “BIOS features setup†or “Advanced BIOS featuresâ€).
5. Change to boot sequence (should show as “boot sequence†or first boot
device; 2nd boot device; 3rd boot device; etc.) so that CD-ROM is first.
6. Exit saving changes.
7. When you see the message to press any key to boot from CD, press any key.
8. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press Enter to do a clean install.
9. Press F8 to agree to the license agreement.
10. Press Esc to perform a clean installation. (If this option is not
available, skip to the next step.)
11. Press Enter to install to the selected drive.
12. Press C to continue if prompted.
13. When prompted to format, select the option to “Leave the current file
system in tact†and press Enter.
14. At the next screen, press Esc to change the directory.
15. Change the path to \WinXP
16. Press Enter.
17. Complete the installation.

Regards,
Kit
