    My niece has forgotten her pass word (she changes it almost every day). She has windows xp home. Is there a way around this or a way to retrieve the pass word. Or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows.
    Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Sorry it took so long to respond, ddp, but I've got the flu. Just got out of bed.
    But I'm sure she can get to safe mode & admin.
