Ladies/Gentlemen:

According to article-321305 "How to log on to Windows XP
if you forget your password or your password expires" on
the MS Windows XP support web-site, the only way to
restore a forgotten or corrupted administrator-level
password on an Windows XP Home-Edition environment when
there is no password-reset disk is by performing a "clean"
installation of the operating system. Do any of you know
of a work-around/trick that does not require to do the
entire O/S install?

Most appreciative,

CAB
