If hubby has an administrator account, have him log in and change or remove your password in Control Panel > User Accounts. Otherwise, log into the hidden Administrator account as described in the Windows XP Computer Setup and Maintenance article Log on as an administrator , then change or remove your password.

Thank -you for your response: Tried- User name -Administrator , password blank, Logon Message,The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case.Also tried -User name-Administrator, plus Administrator password-Logon message, Unable to log you on because of an account restriction.Is there something else I could try,Regards Michelle

Unfortunately, it is not an Administrator account.

Did you follow the steps in the Log on as an administrator article? If your computer has Windows XP Home Edition, start it in Safe mode.Boulder Computer Maven Microsoft Most Valuable Professional
