Without being able to log on then you will have a hard time trying to reset a password. Unless you are familiar with Linux then you might be able to get into Windows that way and reset or crack it but I'm not sure it would work or not. never done it myself.

See here for the UBCD -> http://www.ubcd4win.com/ (free)

    I'm not very familiar with Linux. How does the site u gave me work? I can't download it to the computer, because I can't get in and I can't find how to order the CD.

    You would have to burn it to a disk with another PC and then boot the other locked PC with it in the CD tray.

    See here Extracting, setting up, and building UBCD4Win: http://www.ubcd4win.com/howto.htm

    If you have any questions I suggest asking in the BSD, Linux, and Unix forum. I'm not skilled with Linux... :-\

      I'm getting tired and frustrated, nothing is making any sense to me right now. I think I am going to leave this until tomorrow and come back a little refresher. Thanks for all your help and patience. I will be back again tomorrow.

        Hi,

        I just you would like to know that I am back in my system now. What I did was restarted my computer. While it was rebooting, I hit F11. I did a backup of my files from there (hopefully it worked) and restored the manufacture settings. I am now in the process of restoring all my files.

        If you like, I will let you know how it went.

        Thanks again for all the help.
