Short and sweet. You need the administrator password to log in as the administrator.

Read this article:
http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_admini...r_password.htm There is a tool called Austrumi that will allow you to reset the local administrator password as well as some other utilities. You will need to burn the image to a CD and boot from it. Follow the instructions and you shouldnt have any problems. You can download it from the link above also |

Some in need to technical help. thanks in advance Use NTpasswd to change the built-in Administrator password to a blank. Then log in, go to the User Accounts applet in Control Panel, and change the Administrator password to something you will remember. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

ntpasswd is included in the austrumi image. Go with Malke's link if you
do not want to go through the process of burning the CD. |
