Want to install XP Pro on system with forgotten password
Hi! I want to load Win XP Pro on to my notebook as a
replacement for the current 2000 Pro. The problem is that I have forgotten the password for the 2000. It is a personally owned ThinkPad 600X that I set-up myself as the only one with admin privileges. The system presently has a single hard disk partition. My Win XP Pro is a "full package," rather than upgrade. Any suggestions on how I can install XP on the notebook, or by-pass the forgotten password would be greatly appreciated. many thanks. Tom |

Forgotten Password
Log on to another account that has Administrator privileges, go to Control
Panel, User Accounts. Select the account in question and click Change Password. Make note of what the user will not be able to access afterwards. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
