where the previous Manager had set an administrator password on a
Notebook computer in XP then established a limited account for
everyone to use.  The previous Manager has left the organization and
is not available to contact and did not leave a complete list of Admin
passwords.  Is there anyway besides reinstalling XP to reset that
Administrator password?  (I've already ran through the list of
recent/known passwords that they used.)
