Forgotten Password

[CDS]

I am the administrator of my PC and all of the other user
accounts are limited. I have forgotten my password, and i
don't have a reset disk. I have tried reinstalling XP
through the limited accounts, but it won't let me, saying
that the administrator is the only one who can install
programs. What do I do?

1st...As the administrator...please write down the password on your
keyboard..
2nd..Please get a new administrator...one who can remember a password that
they chose....not too difficult...
3rd...don't feel bad...passwords aren't for everyone.....

If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local Administrator
password with one of the methods mentioned here:
