Password

Anyone knows where I could find a free Password reset program. When I start Win XP Pro, it's asking me for a password (Administrator)

Thank you

First off:

Do you have any other logins for this computer, if you do you should be able to just change the login usernema to whatever you would normally use.

There are a few other alternative ways in, but I'll have to do an internet search first...

I feel much better now. Thanks Germain.


Did your son even enter a password? If not, you should just be able to leave it blank and start up like normal.
