Hi Thomas. Go to registry(start, run, regedit) Go to edit, find. Type in *.pwl Pwl is the extension used for passwords. You will find the file in the explorer like window. IF you don't feel comfortable deleting the file, you should at least find the password, be able to log on with it and change/eliminate the settings. Have a nice day.
