Help!
I brought my daughter to work with me and she has put a user account and password onto one of my PCs. Unfortunately that was several days ago and she cannot remember the password! (Windows XP home) Are there any suggestions, I really need to get this sorted ASAP !? Paul |

Try booting in safe mode and login under the admin account.

Yup, press F8 repeatedly after turning on the PC.
Then select safe mode. |

How did you do it? |

I got in as you suggested by pressing F8 repeatedly and selecting safe mode.
Thanks for the advice, I was going mad trying to sort it out because the machine affected was the one I use to download orders from my web site and I couldnt access them! Cheers Paul |
