Hi,

If you created a password reset disk, then yes. If you can log onto another
administrator account, then yes. If you can google for the proper terms on
resetting an admin password with a third party tool, then yes. Otherwise no.

I find it intriguing that you have been using a system and password for
three months and have suddenly forgotten it. The numerous spelling and
grammatical errors in your post make it just that more curious.

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 (Win2000, XP and Vista are all NT class operating system).

Rick was it really necessary to point out gram errors in an email?

Thanks Greenie, that password link was good and useful.

The comment had nothing to do with a lesson in grammer or spelling, Ian.
