XP pro password
Posted by Carly on August 4th, 2003


I was an administrator in the family computer running
windows XP Pro. Someone deleted my password though and
put in a new one I can't guess for the life of me. Is
there ne way around it? (and I tried the safe mode, but I
long since forgot the other administrative password).
Please Help me!

As I explained earlier, my password was changed and I do
not know the new one. I also have forgotten the password
to the default administrative account, and no other
account has administrative capabilities. Good
suggestion, but my case does not seem to fit. Any other
way you know of?

of the devices at our disposal would require you using that account to
resolve the issue.
