My aunt is trying to log on to her computer but she can't
remember her password. Is there any way to bypass this so
that she can have access to her control panel to change
the password?Any help would be appreciated.

In Home Edition (which I presume you have as you don't say), boot up in
Safe Mode (tap F8 continuously at startup until the boot options appear)
and log on as Administrator. (There is probably no password if your XP
came pre-installed). You can then access Control Panel and change the
log-in characteristics for the user.

Does she have a password? If not leave it blank + just click on OK or
whatever it says?
No way to bypass this that I know of.
