If you start in safe mode..f8 at boot you can delete that account
providing it is not the administrator account but a seperate user account
with or without administrative privileges

| I used "net user username /random" at the command prompt

|
| Big mistake as I now have a new UNKNOWN password. I have
| admin rights on this account/computer which is a stand-
| alone computer i.e. no network.
|
| Does anyone know how to revert back to my previous known
| password?
|
| Barring that, I'm fortunate in that I haven't encrypted
| anything yet! So could just delete my user account and
| start over.

| Thanks,
