I forget my account password!

[Nick Messer]

I have Windows XP Home Edition, and I put a password on
the administrator account to keep people off of it. But
after 2 weeks of not signing off, when I restarted it. I
forgot my password! Is there anyway to get around the
password? Or fix this problem? PLEASE HELP. Email me the
response, thanks

Hi

Have you tried to log on with the original Administrator user:

Password Expires

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

you could save all your work and re-install your os, that will fix it.

and while your doing the install you can think about how you are going to
remember your new admin password
