I forgot my administrators password. I didn't set up a security question or make a reset password disk. OK, so sometimes I'm an idiot. I really need to have access to my files...oh, about an hour ago. Is there anything I can do to log in to my own computer?
Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which cannot be deleted) and reset the password of the desired account(s). By design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.
