Passwords

[Guest]

Well...I don't appear to be the smartest cookie, and somehow I managed to
forget my Administrative account password. No other accounts have
administrative privilages, and I was wondering if there is a way to reset the
password, or change the password? Looking through "Help" only gave answers
with administrative account access...so if any one knows of a way...that
would be SOOO awesome.

Well, for $195.00, that sure would be a waste of money if you had your files
backed up (as everyone should) then it would be MUCH, MUCH cheaper to just
reinstall Windows and make a proper passwrod disk..

This is kind of scary. If anyone has physical access to my laptop,
they can reset my adnministrator password wth this program.

That's quite true. If you don't have good physical security of the
computer, you don't have any security. This has always been the case.
