I cannot get to any screen. I have a split Welcome and log on screen.
Using control alt delete twice I get the log on screen but can get no
further? Help.

The issue I am having is that my only computer admistrator forgot their

Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which
cannot be deleted) and modify the desired account(s) and use Start Run
"control userpasswords2" to modify the desired account(s).

By design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of
WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing
CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login
dialog box.

Failing that, Linux-based password cracking utilities abound on the
Internet, freely available to anyone who can use Google.
