You might try with XP booting into safe mode with F8 and a hidden
administrator will appear (on most systems anyway) A security risk that
may not be there on your system but it is a good back door for home
systems.
As far as I know there is no administrator password for 9X and ME my
kids taught me that wanted to lock them out of the system came home and
they were playing away!! They just pressed the Esc key talk about high
security
Hope this helps Paul Ryan
