Angry Password Protection Lock

Help!! I have a pc with Windows XP and someone went in and enabled password protection on all the user accounts. I am not sure of the password to unlock the pc. What options, if any, do I have besides using a recovery disk and possibly losing my files on my pc?

Have you tried going into safe mode by pressing F8 while the computer starts up and then login as the administrator? unless someone set a pass on that too, but its worth a try

ShadyTails,
The reason we don't reply and the reason I'm going to lock this post,
no insult intended to fabguy, is because we don't know what's going on.
