XP Home Admin password

[Johnfli]

About 2 weeks ago I got an XP Home Laptop for my boss. He gave teh laptop
to his girlfriend. While drunk off her butt, she set teh admin password.
yup, you guessed it, she forgot.
How can I either clear teh password, or find it so I don't have to wipe the
machine??

Hi,

The password can be easily reset with Active@ password changer tool. It
is a small and easy to use utility, yet really effective, and it did
helped me before in a simmilar situation.
