Hello all ,

i was wondering if you could help me. I have a pc running windows xp.

Some months ago, i was prompted for a password change for log in into the sole account on the computer. I quickly thought of something safe, typed it in and went off on my merry way. On my next attempt to log in, I could'nt remember the password and tried all obvious things but to no avail. Since then i got hold of a copy of Erd Commander 2003, after been informed it could unlock forgotten administrator passwords. I start the computer, place the disk inside, but still get prompted for my password.

Can anyone please help me?

you need to boot to the CD to change the password..

you may need to change your bios settings in order to boot from the CD

you may need to change your bios settings in order to boot from the CD

How would i go about doing this? Would i need to change it back after succsefully unlocking the machine?

I would change it back when I am done. As for how you would go about doing this. I just answered it in your other post

reboot computer

when or before you hear beep press delete

search for boot order and chang it to boot off cd

remember these steps so you can change back to boot off HD 0
