Forgotten XP password - posted early

[Ganagrant]

Thx all. Unfortunately my CD burner on my PC only seems to allow me to burn a
bootable floppy and not a bootable CD. Unfortunately the laptop only has a CD
drive and no floppy drive. Unless i dont know what i am doing (which is very
likely to be honest!) I thought i had managed to create a CD with the
relevant files but the laptop still boots straight to the Welcome screen.
When i try to boot from the |CD Drive it says that there is not a bootable CD
in drive (presumably because of the above problem re bootable CD / floppy
disc).

Any further suggestions appreciated otherwise i think i am going to have to
bite the bullet and take it to a shop and pay for repair.

Thanks again.

Jamie

You can download a zipped .Iso of NT Password. Then download
a free Image burner program called Image Burn. With those 2 tools
you can build a reset disk.
NT Password ( .Zip containing an .iso module ):

A huge thx to all who contributed their advice on this subject, especially R
McCarty. I have now managed to create the disc and have since cleared the
password and got access to the laptop.

Many thanks to you all
