Default Re: Forgot Password

Try booting into Safe Mode. Restart the computer and hold down the F8 key
until you see the Advanced Menu. Select to Start in Safe Mode. Before you
reach the Desktop you should see the option to logon as Administrator, Just
leave the password blank and press the Enter Key and see if you can get in.
Once in you can go to Control Panel->User Accounts and disable or change
passwords to your other Administrator account.

Let us know if this worked or not.
