My sister in-law has forgotten her password. Is there a way to reset it without using a rescue CD? If not, what rescue CD do you recommend?

Thanks

Her account is the Admin Account so it can't be changed through Safe Mode

Thanks

is that the only accont user you have

can you enter any account that have complete access (administer)

then just go into user account then manage other account

then remove password

if not

try to log into safe mode and user administer should appear

then do the same thing
