one secretary left w/out telling anyone her password
(as a log-on user)
How can we find her password to get to the letters and
files she typed before leaving the company?
How can I transfer her files to another user and erase
her as a user?
 
You didnt state if the PC was part of a Domain or not, so i'll do both

WORKGROUP Solution

Log on locally as the Adminstrator or as a user with Administrative
Privliages
Goto Control Panel --> Admin tools --> Computer Management --> Local users &
Groups --> Users
Right click on her username and click on "Set password" and enter a new
password

DOMAIN solution

This will need to be done on the Domain Controller ( i believe...). Log on
as the Domain Administrator
Goto Control Panel --> Admin tools --> Acitve Directory Users & Computers-->
User
Right click on her username and click on "Set password" and enter a new
password

Hope this helps
