While servicing one of my corporate clients the other day, an employee came up to me and explained that her kids had changed the Windows login password on her laptop which runs XP.  Now she is unable to even boot the machine.  Is there a way for her to get around this?  I don't have XP, but do use 2000 Pro, and did a registry search for the words 'password' (no ' marks) as well as the two passwords I use to start Windows either as myself or as the administrator, and came up with no matches. I was hoping maybe the XP registry was set up in a similar way to 2000 Pro, and was going to suggest she boot to DOS and use the DOS editor to find and change the password back.  But obviously this isn't going to work.  Anybody have any suggestions, short of blowing away the HDD and reinstalling everything?  Thanks!
