My son changed the password on his Sony laptop XP version 2001. Now we cant get in to the compueter. How do I bypass the password and on the computer

Start the computer in Safe mode and log into the built-in account named Administrator . You'll have to know the password, if any, for that account. Once in, go to Control Panel > User Accounts and change the password for your regular account.Then, restart the computer and log into your regular account with the new password. If the computer has a floppy disk drive, you can make a password reset diskBoulder Computer MavenMicrosoft Most Valuable Professional
