I have a second computer that I was going to give to a friend after I erased some files. I forgot the password for Windows XP that I password protected. There is only one user created. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Where the user name is, type administrator
tab to password and enter mssupport

If you didn't enter a password for the administrator when installing, that should work.

You might try tabbing to the password and hitting enter first, often people don't put in a password, enter is the default
