restart machine in safe mode, login with Administrator and with no password. if it does not work then go to

and download file, it will create a linux bootdisk. when booting from it just hit enter 3 times and read instructions pretty simple

Answer 2

I've been to this kind of situation. But with the current security in windows, there is almost no way to break through this kind of situations.

Here are two potions: One is you reinstall windows without reformatting. Make sure all your documents are not in the desktop or in the windows folder (all systems folders), the documents and program files in all other folders should'nt disappear. But remember, do not format. Just reinstall windows... Then after everything is done, log in as administrator(this can be done when restarting in safe mode).
Go to your documents folders, set the access level to your current user name.

The other option is that you use Norton Ghost to do system backup. Ghost up your system drive, then restore. Or just ghost up the documents files. By the way, you will have to use your friend's pc to ghost up the system because you can't ghost up your files without logging in. I'm sure those computer technicians in computer stores know how to do this...

Answer 4

There is a boot CD you can download and create a bootable CD with in order to "Reset" the password for any account on Windows NT/2000/XP.

Here is a link to the instructions on how to obtain, create and use the CD.

Try this site: http://www.loginrecovery.com/ I never tried it, but I think it might work. You'll need a floppy disk to boot from though. Good luck!
