James, you are a very poor one, indeed.
AE talked very arrogant but he was right.
Danieldk is a dubious fellow with very special behaviour out of the real world.
Shawn brought the right helpful message, this
is it what to do.
Good luck, James

Sorry folks if you noticed he said Windoz XP password not bios password (removing the battery). The fix: either reformat and reinstall after backing up data or my answer is load OS/2

James,

Goto safe mode and login as Administrator and then follow this path:-

Start>Control Panel>User Accounts...
Click on your username and change Password:- Give a new password. It will not ask you for the old one. It will work.......... Believe me.
