Password login for XP

[charlie61]

HI,
I have a computer that I don't know the Windows login password for. It is running XP. How can I delete the unknown password and then not have a password to login at all?

Thanks,
Charlie

through control panel in user settings. pretty simple from that point on.

do I need to go to safe mode to do this? I don't know the administrator password either, if there is one.

Thanks,
Charlie

Charlie,

You should be able to simply go into safe mode, Go to Control Panel ---> User Accounts, and go from there. In my experience, you won't be asked to enter the original password when you are changing or removing the password/account.

Because of the size of the page, just search (Edit->Find) for Safe Mode
