hi guys is there any way one can access a computer running WinXP when there's only one user account (Administrator) set up and the password is forgotten?
Hi Silmanno, If you created that user account, there is still the default "admin" account. To access that account: Boot in safe ... access the admin account and change/delete that accounts password from there (same proceedure / control panel - user accounts). Tap F8 while booting to start safe mode ... option 1.
