lost password

[pcs800]

How would I go about recovering the admin password for win xp pro or home?
I have a client who's employee left on bad terms and won't return his calls.

Take the disk, put it in another PC, get the data off and re-install it. Takes about an hour and no messing about is needed.

You can use a Linux boot disk with the correct utilities on it to alter the Admin password on an XP box. Searching on Google and in the Newsgroups will yield success my friend! And it's free!
