Admin Password

When XPPro was set up on my computer.. the person setting it up put in a
password.. which I later changed to something else. I neglected to write it
down. I don't even know if I'll ever need it.. but, in the event I do.. How
can I recover from this?

This is a legit question and I'd be happy to either bring the computer to a
tech or send the hard drive to Microsoft or whoever.. but.. is it possible
to recover from this brain fart?

Thanks... I'll see what I can find. Is this something that a computer tech
outfit would likely have?

My son was given a used computer but was not informed of
the admin password. Is there any way to get this off the
system so that we can clean it up
Thanks
Steve

Do a safe boot which will give you full access to the control panel.
Open use accounts and proceed

Any way to get the admin password out of an XP system.
Son got a computer given to him but admin password is not
known
Thanks

Since one was probably never entered,simply press the
enter key when prompted.
