| I have two accounts at my Win XP Professional:
| 
|   * First, I made one account on the fresh installation by

|   * Second (domain based) is made by IT stuff for me for

| 
| The problem is that I have forgotten my first 'personal'

| (corporate) one is available for me to log on.

| I have read some solutions on the net but haven't tried ony

| and to type in username 'adimistrator' without password.
| Then they said it's easy to reset the password. Is that possible?
| What do you suggest in my case?
