Urgent! Bypassing password protection
Comments

It's quite likely that the administrator is also password protected. Thats the sensible option when setting up any pc. It's unlikely you will get access if this is the case.
You can't delete passwords unless you have administrator rights.
If you are running win 95 or 98 just click on cancel."Food has replaced sex in my life. Now, even I can't get into my own pants."0 -
Alternativly, if you just need to access stuff saved on the computer you can take the harddrive out and put it as a slave in another computer, or use a live linux distro to access the harddrive.0
