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 ...

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

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

Or log in under the admin account>start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Change An Account>then go from there.

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 |
