1. As windows is loading up press F8 repeatedly until
the Windows advanced screen comes up.
2. Select safe mode (the version of windows you want
to use click XP wait until it loads the welcome screen.
3. Select Administrator and it will log you on as
administrator without a password (provided a password was
not created in this hidden account during setup).
4. Go to Start - Control Panel - User Accounts.
5. Select your name and click change the password.
Then you should be able to change the password, shut down
the computer and restart in normal mode and use the new
password you just created.
