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.

Thanks Dave for the help, how do I get safe mode, is it F8?

[Hybr!d]

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.

Did you get in?

How did you do it?

[Paul In London]

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

You're welcome, glad it's sorted.
