Forgot Login Password

[Miles]

I'm running Windows XP Professional and I can't remember
what my login password is and I didn't create a password
backup disk. Is there anyway to get around this? If
anyone can help me out, let me know! Thanks Miles

This is a tricky one. Do you have access to another user with enough access
to reset the administrator password??

Otherwise you may be looking at a clean install since the sam database is
extremely hard to crack (it holds your passwords)

David,
Man you're a life saver. I forgot about having an
administrator login and for some reason I remembered that
password. Thanks I appreciate your time. Miles
