Startup

[Jay]

I have forgotten my password and can't get past the
password box. I've tried recovery mode without success.
How do I get back to origination.

You MAY be stuffed.

Try logging in as Administrator, with a blank password.
(If you get the Welcome Screen, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice!!)
If the PC is new, and came with Xp pre-installed, contact the manufacturer
to ask what Administrator password (if any) they assigned.
If you successfully log in as Administrator, change the password of your own
account and WRITE it down and store it in a safe place.
Set the Administrator password, and write that down also.
