windows xp password

[ebstiles]

HELP! The dope who installed Windows XP on my home
office computer can't remember what he used for a
password so the entire computer is useless to me! It's
not online yet. I have tried every password I can think
of. Does anyone know a way to get around this so I can
disable the password permanently?
Any help greatly appreciated!!!

You let someone else install your home computer?

You have a few other options as well..

Hack your password:

Now - what you may have been thinking of is this:

How to create and use a password reset disk for a computer that is not a
domain member in Windows XP

Of course, you would have had to create that diskette AHEAD of time.
