Password Protected Pc
I have been given an old Packard Bell desktop PC running Windows XP. However, when I turned it on I found that it had been password protected. The former owner cannot remember the password. This is a long shot but does anyone know a way of getting into it without the password?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Reboot into safe mode and you should get the option to select the user called Administrator. This user might not need a password. If you can get in as this user, you can easily change any other users password. Details here:-
