Password.

[Rodney Brown]

Please help. I have a computer that has Windows XP Pro.
The man that uses it has setup an administrator password
but he don't know what it is. Is there any way to get
around this. I tried to log on as guest but that account
has been disabled. He doesn't know if there are any other
user names setup or not.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Rodney Brown

I know of a way that is very rare. I can help you but you
must contact me in private. My e-mail is
(e-mail address removed) and my name is James Walters.
Contact me there & I will show you a way around it and
give you the files you need. By the way, its completely
free and have used it on the computers here at work. Its
simple and takes about two minutes. Contact me when you
are ready.

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