Thought I would pass this on to everyone.

I changed my password in XP, and then promptly forgot it (ADD I guess). I
have the solution for it as well.

Reboot your machine in save mode (F8)

Log on to Administrator (which does not have a password)

Go to the Users area of control panel and open users.

Select the user who foolishly forgot their password.

Select "Delete Password"

Close the window.

*********************************

VERY IMPORTANT.

If anyone knows how to do these steps, they can mess up your machine.

Put a password on "Administrator" and don't forget it.

IF YOU FORGET IT, YOUR ARE ROYALLY SCREWED.
