Windows XP Home. Where is the administrators password stored in xp? I am
trying to do a repair installation of xp and it wants the admin password and
I have typed every password I have ever used there and it won't accept them.
Where can I find what it wants for a password? Any help appreciated.

Have you tried a blank password? Just hit enter at that screen.
