Need to reload XP, I think.

[Guest]

My grandson loaded XP on his laptop and can't remember the admin password he
chose, even using his hint. Now he wants to load other software but needs the
admin password. I tried to re-install XP from his system disks but I need to
be in the admin to do this. I guess I need to wipe the C: drive first since
he dosen't have anything software on it that he needs to keep. What do you
suggest? FDISK?

Rick,
Your Google search gives me the Google page. What should I do them?
Thanks,

Hi Jack,

The point was that there are many admin password hacks available, just
search on it. I cannot recommend a specific one. Have your grandson create a
password reset disk next time to guard against this problem.
