Forgot administrator password
Last response: in Windows XP
Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)
After recovering from a trojan virus, I set up an administrative and guest
account to avoid having my son download anything on my computer. Problem is
that I have forgotten what the password is and am now unable to do anything
on my computer since I can only get in as a guest.
Is there a way to recover this password or reset my system so that I can
maintain it?? I am using XP Proffessional Service Pack 2 on my home computer.
I will make sure not to make this mistake again since I can't even update my
virus protection unless I am signed into the administrator account.

At welcome screen, hit Ctrl+All+Del twice and you will see an account
named "Administrator" (not you administrative account). Its password was
set when installing XP. Do you remember it?
