Passwords!!

[Trelf]

My daughter has a desktop that she put a password on to boot up.
Unfortunately it packed up and was left for several months before I realised all that was wrong with it was a dodgy power lead!
The problem came when she went to start it up and it came to the point where it required the password - she cant remember what the bloody password is!!!!
Any help available would be great!
Thanks.

ouch..

tryyyyy F8 on boot up and see if it will go into safe mode, if you can get in there, then create admin or new user.

good luck.

if its still an issue, then you can burn a cd, or copy to a usb stick, a bootable image that will load up when you turn the pc on - you can then reset any passwords without much problem for any version of Windows.  It won't tell you what the password is of course, but will let you overwrite it with a new one.
