Login Password

[Carl Miller]

OK, can somebody be so kind as to tell me how do you
bypass the computer login password. My wife had to
change her password on her computer, but she cant
remember what the password is. Can somebody please help
me so she can stop using MY computer. Oh, we use Windows
XP.

I SAW THIS ELSE WHERE BY ANOTHER USER IT MIGHT HELP YOU.

PS SORRY TO ORIGIONAL USER FOR USING THERE POST.

The password is Case Sensitive.
Check Caps Lock and try various of Capital combinations.

Or
Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password
blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.
If you are using Windows XP Pro and have encrypted data,
you may
permanently lose access to the encrypted data.

Here are other options:

Another option is to install Windows XP on another
partition and take
Ownership of your data.
You could also perform another installation on the same
partition,
although this is not a permanent fix and it is
recommended to perform
a Clean Installation after retrieving your data.

After this is resolved, take precautions to not lose the
password.

NTAccess can replace the administrator password of a Windows NT, Windows
2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 system by rebooting the computer
with a special set of boot disks. This is useful if you forgot the
administrator password and cannot access the Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003
system.
