Need to get on as administrative user.
My friend and I have recently got a old computer that was in his family. Problem is we turn it on and no one in the family can remember the password for anybodies users. I don't know if there is a way to find it or override it somehow, guess thats why I'm here. Any help would be much appreciated. I believe it is a early windows xp but I can't be sure. the actual appearance of windows is very bubbly and the start option is green. Hope it helps. Thanks

Please see the TSG Rules, we no longer provide any help with lost passwords or getting around password protection. Obviously, we can't determine the real intent here, so our policy is to abstain from any assistance in these matters.

I'm going to close this one before someone is tempted to run afoul of the rules.
