theAntiSanta Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
