Hello all.
I am new and this is one of my first posts.

From reading A few post there seems to be a lot of IT knowledge outthere and I have a problem.

I have managed to loss my administrator password for my computer.
Therefore I cannot delete any of the unwanted files on my profile.
Is there anyway I can do any of the following on windows XP

1.delete my profile (i no longer need it)
2.change password without using my existing password (long shot)


Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try this.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

I've used this one successfully several times... http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
Very small download, can be run from either a USB stick or CD (you need to know how to burn a ISO to a CD, Nero or similar will do it easily)

Don't be put off by the black screen interface, all the instructions come up clearly, it's dead simple , basically choosing the defaults will wipe any admin password.

Thanks

I will give those a go tonight.

All sorted now

I used the download Bubba recommend.
I found that this was the more user friendly out the two.

Thanks
