I am trying to log on to my computer and my old password
doesn't work. No password that I can think of works! I've
even tried "Admin" or "Administor" and nothing. Is there
anything I can type in there to get through, they go
somewhere and change password? I've also tried 'Guest' and
it says that's been disabled. I'd appreciate any help you
can give me. I don't want to wipe the drive and start from
scratch. Thanks!

Hi

http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#password
 
I have an image file, which you can create a bootable cd
and change the password, either e-mail me your e-mail
address so that I can send you this file, or do a search
on the net for it. I know that commander 2000 ($300.00)
has it. The one I will send you I pulled from the
internet, I just do not know the URL. Disclaimer: This
file used improperly can cause damage to your system,
please read the instructions as they appear on your
screen, I can not be responsable for any misuse of this
product, I have used this in the past with no problems.

Good luck

Here is the well known URL:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
Used many times to "blank" e.g. the Administrator password.
I never succeeded to change the password to a given one by this
tool, blanking works though.
So, blank the password, logon without a password and change it
to your favourite one the regular way.
 
OK, I now have 2 addresses to try - Thanks! It will be
slow going as I'm using my son's computer that is slower
than time, but now I have somewhere to start!
