RE: Password Lost<What to do >
If you use Windows XP home, you should be able to boot to safe mode (F8 before the Windows Loading screen appears during power-up) and log on as Administrator with no password. From there you can go Control Panel -> Users and change your password.

If you use Windows 95/98/ME, boot to DOS mode (F8 before the Loading screen and choose 5) and type DEL c:\windows\<username>.acl . (Where <username> is your username)
That'll erase any Windows 9x password list.
