PASSWORD PROBLEMS

[Rita]

What can you do if you've forgotten your password, even
with the hint? Other than write things down in the
future. My kid has established a password & now can't
remember it & we can not add/remove programs because his
log in is the admistrative one...I know, dumb move. But
if someone can HELP, please? Thanks!

Or
Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.
