XP Home Password issue
Our 6 year old son somehow put in a password on our XP home system. We can
get into our main account just fine but if we are in one of the other accounts and we want to switch back to our account it asks for this unknown password. Hope someone can help. thanks, G |

XP Home Password issue
Hi Dean,
there is also a Linux untility which is FREE on the net rather than pay $300. It boots to Linux from a CD and resets XP/2000 passwords. Have a look on Windows XP utilites sites. It hasn't got a name. We have over 4500 PC's here and not had one failure yet although it is best to set it to blank and then log in to Windows to change it.
