My old computer guy set my Administrator password over a year ago, and I can not remember what it was. I am looking for help on how to override this option so I can add new hardware(aka a new Printer). I am able to log on using the user name End User... not sure that will help

Thanks for the help in advance

No reason to be short about it. She's
probably a new poster.

There are various applications to recover a
lost Admin password on NT/XP/2000 machines.
A few such programs are BartPE and ERD
Commander. A copy of ERD Commander 2005
should be easy to find on the Internet,
just be sure that you...you know, get it
legally. ;-) ERD Commander WOULD be your
best bet, as it has a very simple User
Interface, very user friendly - and the
LockSmith program bundled into it has about
a 99% chance of working. So yeah, it rocks,
go get it. :D

Hi I also had this problem before and recently I found a nice solution in a tech support site. Here is the page for Forgot my Windows Password

Good luck
