    There is a tool from Winternals within ERD Commander called LOCKSMITH that lets you change the local Administrator password from a boot-up CD-ROM. W0rk5 n1c31y!

    Ok do this:

    1. Press F8 (since you press the power button on your computer) (rapidly (press, release, press, release..)) while the computer is booting until you see a menu.

    2. Select "Safe Mode".

    3. Wait while the system starts.

    4. Use the account "Administrator". The password is.. there are no password for the "Administrator" account. (the account name is exactly like that)

    5. Make a new account on your computer.

    6. Reboot your computer normally.

    You can start using your computer with the new fresh account!

    By the way, your settings will be lost because it's a NEW/another account. You need to reconfigure the settings.

    Thanks!

    there's an internal battery on your motherboard, take it out and short the two terminals then put in the battery again the same way you took it out.
