Overriding Username Password

[NACSA CHAIR]

Daughter decided to change her password...and promptly forgot
it...anyone any ideas on how to override it. Screen will not get past
request for username password to allow me into any other part of the
system. Very much appreciate quick response as her computer is about
to be confiscated for good! :)

You should be able to access the standard Administrator account and reset
the password.

Log in using the built-in Administrator account, and reset
passwords and/or create/modify user accounts as desired. In WinXP
Pro, press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen. In WinXP Home,
restart into Safe Mode.
