HELP!!! - Forgotten admin password on computer!!!

HappySad

We have changed the admin password on the computer and now cannot log in. The day after changing the password my son was also playing and trying to log in and now his own login has locked out.

You may not know the answer but do you know of any good windows xp forums that I can post this request on?

HELP HELP PLease!!!!!

Format the hard drive and reinstall windows.

Thereafter write down the password or remember the password.

You're joking, aren't you?
