my nine year old attempted to access a computer in our
home and change the password.. he somehow succeeded!!
now, no one can access the computer becz he has no idea
what he changed the password to almost five days ago..
PLEASE HELP... ANY SUGGESTIONS would be appreciated. i
was told to go into DOS mode and delete the password file
altogether using del_*.pwl it does not work!!

please help.. we would like to upgrade the system and we
cant do that until we can actually log on. thanks!!

You can skip around the password that you nine year old installed by simply
clicking on the cancel button.
Password in Windows 95, 98 and ME are useless.
Then you have to do a search for password files.
You dos command did not work, because you did not tell it where to find the
file.
Got to START - Find and then files and folders. Type in:
*.pwl
press the enter key
Select each password file and then press the DEL key

Shut down your computer and restart.
It will show the user name and request a password. Do not enter a
password, just click OK. Repeat on the second page if necessary.
Now the computer should restart without the log-in screen.
