Lost Administrator Password

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Hi All

I just recovered a laptop (Windows XP Pro) from an x employee and the local
administrator password has been changed. Is there a way to reset / change
the password in order to get the files off?

Any help would be appreciated

Thank You

Marc
