Safe mode (Administrator login)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Steve;
Go back to Safe Mode.
Log in to your daughters account.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select Administrator.
From there you can change the Administrator password.
Log out then you should be able to log into Administrator.
