Lost Password

by absolutly7 Jun 7, 2005 11:01AM PDT

A couple months ago I installed a persona finger print reader on my computer. I uninstalled, and forgot my password to log back into my computer. Is there way of finding out my password or bypassing it? I just restarted in internet safe mode to write this. Even if there's a way to do a reinstall of XP.
Thanks absolutly7

Safe Mode

In safe mode log in as administrator and go to users and reset the password.

You indicated you are using the PC in Safe Mode now, so how did you get on without a password?
