Some genuis decides to put a password on my nephews computer, and nobody remembers what it is. we need to be able to log in as an administrator in win xp pro, nobody knows the password and we dont have the system restore disk. is there anything that can be done about this?

Good, see also ophc$ack live.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
