Re: Lost Admin PW in XP home

Thanks for all time on this Malke, what if I updated the Netframe work file?
If not, I'll try the NT password progie. Is that from Ramesh's site? I
downloaded it earlier but it did not d/l correctly. It looked like it was
zipped but I could not open it.

You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account. If you disabled it,
NTpasswd will allow you to enable it again. If you find it too difficult
to deal with NTpasswd, take the machine to a computer professional (not
your local BigComputerStore/GeekSquad) and they will be able to get into
your computer and fix things in under 5 minutes.
