My computer is a stand alone PC and not connected to other computers. How do
I remove the administrator from my PC as I do not know the password. This was
done incorrectly. I really do not want to format my PC as I have important
info on it.

I cannot back up any data as the computer requests administrator to backup
the data.

Help please.

Get the admin pass back.

It says it's for NT but it works fine in XP.
