Hi there I have forgotten the password for the computer
administrator and I have lots of work that I need to get.
I need to know if there is any way of getting on to the
administor account without knowing my password. I am
really stuck please help if you can.

Thanks

There is a linux based utility that boots off a floppy disc and allows you
to change the admin password on NT based systems. I have used it before on
Win2k, but not on XP. As a last resort you can try it. I lost the site a
long time ago, but here is a link to my site w/ the download:

I found the site:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

It also has a lot of good info on lost NT passwords.
