CAD Managers

[#1]

I did a bad thing at home. I have forgotten my password to an adminsitrative
account (Windows XP Pro SP2). I've been changing it regularly and writing it
down on a piece of paper that I keep in my wallet. I got distracted
yesterday morning and didn't get 'er done. I know the consequences to us
novice users. I stand to lose everything once I reinstall the OS.

Is there a hack, a special contact, anything or anybody I can talk to to get
me around the unknown admin password.

There are a number of ways to get it back. One I just took for a test
drive for grins, and it worked.

It is free if you want to wait a day. Want results faster you will have
to pay. Some are wary of it but like I said it worked and caused no
problems.

Rick,

There are boot disk programs that can reset or blank out the password, but
won't give you the existing password. Would that work? I'm having trouble
finding the link.

Thanks for all the input. While in a mild panic, a person forgets the obvious answers. The links and the Google phrase were very helpful. I have two or three items that I will try tonight.

You think you have a foolproof system....By the way, I will be creating a password reset disk this time.

Floppy disks have a habit of becoming just as "dis-functional" as the slip
of paper in the wallet Rick. ;-)

Maybe a cc: to another email address?
