Mr. Merokee
I am using a VPR-Matrix computer with Windows XP Home
Edition as the operating system. The computer was given to
me by my daughter, after she had bought it new and used it
for about 6 months. She decided to obtain and use a laptop
exclusively, and I hav since used it for about a year with
few problems.
To make a long story short, I had found that recently the
performance was tailing off, and after deleting some
programs, using WinDoctor, etc. and checking into some
other items, I now find that I can not log onto windows
when first starting the machine. I am the administrator
but I either can not remember my password, or it is not
being recognized. I can not now even start in safe mode
because it has been asking for my password first.
Does anyone know of a work around, so that I can get past
this, or a way that I can find out what the password is
that the program is looking for?
I am the primary and only user on the machine except for
an occasional guest.
I do not have any current backups on hand.[Not too bright,
heh?] Will I loose much of my stored data and software if
I were to use the restore discs that came with the machine?
Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bill
