    Red face Administrator Password


    I hold the administrator account on my home computer. However, I did not make a hint, to keep my kids from guessing like they have done in the past and I did not make a reset disk. So, I am unable to log on to my Windows XP without going through my kids accounts who do not have full access. Is there any way around it without uninstalling Windows XP? Because I bought this computer third-party and do not have original disk. Please help.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your PM msloonb. Look again at the thread in the link. It says to boot up in safe mode and log in as administrator with no password. It worked for the original poster so I hope it will work for you.
