passwords

[Guest]

My daughter went in under adminastrator and put a pass word on the computer.
When I turn on the computer it directs me to the pass word screen and won't
let me get in. She doesn't remember the pass word either.

Unfortunately, Windows doesn't support just resetting the password. This is
actually a good thing from a security standpoint.

There are utilities on the 'net that will allow you to create a floppy disk
that you can reboot the computer to, which will then erase the Administrator
account password, allowing you you access to your computer. This can be a
somewhat advanced task, so I suggest getting somebody to help you if you
don't have experience doing this kind of thing. Also, you will probably
need another computer to download the program if you can't log on to yours!
