Thanks Demmpa, but I believe that is useful only for NT (or possibly

Well, it looks as though I might have some "heavy lifting" to do.
I'll put it off for a few more days, in hopes that someone will rescue

The information you have is incorrect. NTpasswd will work for NT, Win2k,
Win2003 Server, and for XP.

Not counting the time to download the very small free program and to
create the bootable media, it will take you less than 5 minutes to set
the Administrator to a blank.
