re: lost xp admin Saturday, December 8, 2001 at 8:38 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by J.R. Jones (1 messages posted) First, check the obvious.. CAPS lock, numbers instead of letters, ya know. There is no way to bypass this password lock inside XP. Your only option is to download a trial version of ERD Commander from www.winternals.com This program will boot you underneath XP and allow you to change the password. A suggestion: To avoid this later, make another account with admin rights and hide it somewhere in your office. Use it in emergencies only.
