Can anyone help? After installing XP and rebooting, the
password I thought was I entered is not the one I
entered. Now I cannot get into my own system as the
administrator. Only one other account set up, but that is
limited user. Anyway to get in as administrator and
change or can I get in and re-install XP on the other
user?
