?Forgotten windows xp password
« on: 04 August 2007, 20:48:41 »

Any way around this ?

Junior has forgotten his xp password on his pc, we suspect he has changed it and perhaps mis spelled it...

tried all previous ones, upper case and lower case....

any way to resolve this ?

If not then its boot it up in dos mode.....cd to a directory and delete a file.....this resets all the passwords
