Create a new user My sister used to own the Windows XP custom built computer that I am now using. The builder moved out of state and then my sister moved to another country. For several months the computer laid dormant and true to form, someone thought it was a good idea to use the machine but then there was no one who could remember my sister's password. We even called overseas to ask, but she doesn't remember.
I just erased my sister's namein the box that comes up when the computer is booted and put in a new name and password. It worked. Maybe it only works for custom built computers. But for the time being my idea was the only one that has worked other than completely reloading all the software into the machine.
