password!

[Terence Lynton]

running xp home.having not used my administrator password for some time now,
as I just logged straight on without the use of it I now have reason to use
it again.
And. yes I have forgotten it and on reading up on the the advice to correct
this problem I am none the wiser. is there any way that I can go back to
square one and start afresh with a new password. how do I do this without
being asked for my previous password that I have forgotten. regards. TL.

This should help.
