Lost My Log In Password -- Solutions?

[John Beckman]

Very amateurish mistake. I had an old Compaq running on
Windows 95 that I decided to give to upgrade to W2000 and
give to my young kids to play with.

I bought the software and did the upgrade, but somehow in
the 2 weeks since I set up the machine and when I went
back to it today to load some games, I have lost my log on
password. I simply cannot log on.

Very bush league, I realize. Is there a solution?

with one of the methods mentioned here:
