WIN LOG ON PASSWORD

[Rainy]

Help!

Can someone help me with the log on password?
I have forgotten what I made the new log on password and
am locked out of my own pc. I am signed in as a guest and
have no way to change anything for this account.
I can't even uninstal it to try reinstalling ( I run duel
OS, XP PRO and 98).
My password expired and I thought I just made
it "password" to make it easy to remember but that is not
working, nor anything else I can even remotely remember
what I might have used.
How do I retrieve it or how can I just delete it
altogether?

Thanks in advance for whomever can help me with this..

Ask this question in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general news group.

This one is for Windows XP Embedded.

Their are only Three ways of fixing the problem.
1. Did you have a key logger running, if so log in as
guest and open the key logger get your password.
2. If you had XP on one and 98 on another HDD, you might
need to save your files from your Winxp HDD in guest
account and put them on a CD. Then format your HDD
containing winXP and start over again.
3. If you had GoBack running revert your HDD to a state
before you intialiazed a password for your account.
