Our 6 year old son somehow put in a password on our XP home system. We can
get into our main account just fine but if we are in one of the other
accounts and we want to switch back to our account it asks for this unknown
password.

Hope someone can help.
thanks,
G

Hi Dean,
there is also a Linux untility which is FREE on
the net rather than pay $300. It boots to Linux from a CD
and resets XP/2000 passwords. Have a look on Windows XP
utilites sites. It hasn't got a name. We have over 4500
PC's here and not had one failure yet although it is best
to set it to blank and then log in to Windows to change
it. Happy Hunting

Alan
