Password Problems

([msg=28130]see Password Problems[/msg])

I have a tiny, really annoying problem.

I forgot the password on my desktop computer. I had a guest account on it so I am able to use it but I can't install anything because it requires a password.

Can anyone please help me figure out how to get back my password?

Thanks.

If you're trying to reset/recover the password for _your_ computer, you could try this: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Be sure to read the FAQs and such.

It's worth a shot.
