administrator password

[gdrusda]

The administrator password for my new (used)computer is
unknown; I have read and tried suggestions from this site
(re-boot to safe mode, leave password blank, etc.) After
re-booting to safe mode, I am still unable to log on to
windows XP Pro. Computer is compaq presario 5000. Any
other ideas on how to get past administrator password?

You could use this linux utility and procedure

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

and change your Administrator password to blank (use *)
