Hello,

I left my computer unlocked and the kids managed to change the password of the only profile on my windows xp computer. They have no idea what the password is. Help! I dont' even know how to boot something into safe mode. I really am stuck.
 
Solution



When computer starts up, after the first flash screen, tap the F8 key to get into safe mode.
Be patient, it takes a little bit to get everything loaded. Once you get to the logon screen select Administrator. then go to control panel, user accounts and change the logon account that needs changed.
