You can then go into control panel and reset the password for your account. h a t t Posted at 10:40 am on July 3, 2008 Restart in safe mode and use the administrator account to change the account's password. baileysababy6 Posted at 10:39 am on July 3, 2008 Quote: from MushroomSatsujin at 10:39 am on July 3, 2008 Whats the OP? toshiba MushroomSatsujin Posted at 10:39 am on July 3, 2008 Whats the OS?
