If the OS is XP home and it came preinstalled then you can boot into safe mode and access the admin account with no password. But that is only if it XP home is on there and it came preinstalled.

matthews, please read forum rule 9 before saying any more. We can't assist with bypassing passwords here.
As much as we'd like to help you, we can't - but I'll give you a little hint - Google is your friend. With that, I have to close the thread, good luck. |
