Forgotten Computer Login Password


So just last week my boyfriend forgot his newly updated login password for his new laptop. Oops! It's crazy, but forgetting something like that can really ruin your day and you may end up losing all your existing documents. So, I thought my first post should be on how to get into your windows xp computer login if you have forgotten your password. It's actually very easy for xp users! All you must do is ...

1. Restart Your Computer and press F8 as soon as it comes back on
2. Select start windows in Safe Mode
3. Once the computer starts in safe mode click on the Start Menu
4. Click on Control Panel
5. Click on User Accounts
6. Now simply click on the account for which you lost your password and set a new password!

It is that simple! After you are done make sure you make a password reset disc! Everyone should make one of these cds the minute they get a new computer and before they reset their password! That way you will never have to have the headache of losing all the information you have on your hard drive!
