Read carefully; then download the ISO file, and make a Bootable CD.

You don't say whether she knows the Password, or not!

If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user account with

administrative privileges you can log into that account and change your

original user account's password from the User Accounts applet in Control

Panel. If you don't have another account like this set up or don't have the

password to it, you'll need to log into the built-in Administrator account.

In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping

the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right

menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here. Once

in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator account. The

default password is a blank.

 

In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen, do

Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in

"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up Windows.

 

If you reset the built-in Administrator account's password in Home or have

Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the built-in

Administrator account's password to a blank.

Then go to the User Accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that

you will remember and make other desired changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN

AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.
