Lost administrator password

Guest

I installed XPpro SP1 for a user, and they insisted THEY type in the administrator users password. Kudos for thier security awareness. Two more accounts were also created, one with admin rights.
Now, they have FORGOTTEN the administrator users password, but can still
get into thier account with admin rights.
Is there any way to reset the administrator users password from another admin account?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

right click on My Computer and select Manage. When MMC opens go to Local
User and Groups and expend it. Go under Users and right click Administrator
and select Set Password.

I hope this helps you out,

Mike
