Gotcha.

Insert Windows XP CD, Re-install the computer.

Actually I sorta told you how, I have done it before.

I just did not think about it untill now.

As I said, Insert your Windows XP CD and beging to re-install the computer.

Ounce you get back to the part to chose the Administrator and Such, Enter his Account name.

Do not choose a password.

Ta-Da.

At least I think thats how I did it.

It will either work, or create a copy of windows ontop of the existing one and you will loose memory.

Which to be honest isn't a risk worth taking.

When you pop in the Windows XP CD and try to reinstall Windows, it will completely wipe your harddrive and all existing information.

Which is why I suggested it.

No Information, no Passwords.

its the only *safe* way.

So I assume you will be driving over to The Rey's house and explaining to his dad why his hard drive was wiped clean then?

Actually it's not.

Every copy of Windows has a back door, my cousin showed it to me once, but I forgot how to do it.

His brother stepped away from the computer and logged off and my cousin rebooted it and did some stuff and by the time my other cousin came back, the password was changed.

This only took 5 minutes, maybe less.
