My teenager put a new password on her system, went on
vacation, returned and doesn't remember her password. She
is the only user / administrator on this computer, so we
have zero access. How do I get this computer open again?
Help! Thanks!
 
Xp home - boot to safe mode, log in as administrator, goto control panel \
user accounts, reset the users password.
Xp Pro - hit ctrl-alt-del twice at the welcome screen, when logon box comes
up, log in as administrator, goto control panel \ user accounts, reset the
users password.
 
Try starting your computer in safe mode (press F8 before
windows loads). While in safe mode, open up control
panel and select user accounts. Select your user and
then delete the password and restart the computer
normally. Hope that helps!
