Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ . There you will find
zip files that will let you create boot floppy disks or bootable CDs
that will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system.

Here is the situation:
Mother got daughter laptop
Mother put in her name/password (presumably) upon initial boot
Laptop turned on/off (cold) several times with no problems
Daughter changes the name -does nothing with password
Now upon startup she is asked for a password (never happened before) and the
password that her mother initially used is not working.
Machine is asking for a password for the daughter's name not mothers
