Don;
 We need to know what password you are needing.
 Is it a bios password, a windows password or a password in a specific
program?
Bios passwords can be reset by on most desktop computers by reseting cmos
via a motherboard jumper.
a windows password in win98 can be reset by searching for *.pwl files
and simply deleting them.
You can also just click cancel at the win98 login password window and you
should
have access to the files.
