Default Passwords have been placed on all accounts

I'm at a school library and students have placed passwords on the accounts
here, and the new librarian does not know the previous password for the
administrator account. Is there any way I can remove the passwords without re
installing Windows?

There is a program ARISKKEY.EXE that will convert the ***'s to letters
and/or numbers so you can view the password. Be careful whne using it.

Is this the password (account password) that you're looking for?

That will enable you to reset the password.

Hi,

Yes, it is really possible. The Active@ password changer tool can help
in this case. It is small utility that can reset lost or forgotten
password. I'm sure that will fix the situation.
