Default forgot my admin. account password


Hi,
I have forgotten my admin account password. I have one guest user on
my computer. I want to install additional software, but my machine does
not allow me to do any changes without the admin password. I did not do
a reset disk. did not even realize that i should be. After I get help
with resetting this, will I lose any data that I have already put in? I
have just eailed all documents out so these will not be lost.
Help.
Thanks,
Dotfromks

Hi Dotfromks,

You can use Method Three in this tutorial to reset your password
without losing anything other than the password.
