How do I get around my administrator password that I forgot?

S

SunShyn

I am the only administrator account on my home computer, and I've forgotten
my account password. I cannot access my account from any of the limited user
accounts, how can I reset mine? I have Windows XP.

I would suggest asking in a group for Windows XP as this is not Office
related. microsoft.public.windowsxp.general would be a good place to start.

Otherwise, look up Password Recovery using your favorite search engine.
