RE: xp professional - local administrator password

["Eric Curbo" <eric.curbo () worldtravelinteractive com>]

You can obtain a tool from http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ that will allow you to change the local 
administrator password on XP. It is a Linux boot disk that opens the SAM and allows you to change passwords.

You can download the two floppy disk version or the bootable CD image version.

For best results, use this tool to change the password to blank then log on as administrator and set an appropriate 
password.
