Hi
If you are not logging in to a domain this will help, i think there are basically two ways to do it.I presume you want to avoid the risk of having to format once again. Boot in safe mode and go to the control panel and create an administrator account and set a password, then boot and start windows normally. Log in to the newly created account.Secondly you can look for password overiding software and reboot with it in the cd-rom and follow the easy instructions
