Need forgotten password to start my PC

[Guest]

I had a power outage while my PC was on. Now, I need the forgotten password
to get my PC to run. I've tried changing the password but still can't get it
to run.

Maybe you miss-typed...but you needed to know the old password before you
could *change* the password. How did you change the password? Are there any
more details you could provide?

Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ . There you will find
zip files that will let you create boot floppy disks or bootable CDs
that will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system

Kevin;
He must be referring to windows 95/98/ME where there is no real
security for a standalone computer.
It is not that simple in Windows XP.
