Forgot password

-----Original Message-----
I changed my XP owners password and forgot it. Now my
laptop is useless. Hint does not help me remember. Any
ideas?
.
Similar has happened to me - I password protected a
folder in My Docs (not a file) and it has made it into an
Owners Password - yet the word I used will not open & let
anything load. PC World reckon iy is a reinstall job as XP
security is very thorough. If you get a solution would you
tell me please - thanks.

I don't know if XP Home works the same as XP Pro in this regard, but try:
