Restart your computer. When the logo screen of your computer’s manufacturer appears, press the necessary button to enter the “Setup” screen. On most computers it will be the F8 key, but it may be F10 or F12 as well. The screen will tell you which button to press. Select “Safe Mode” from the on-screen text menu and press “Enter.” This will boot XP into is safe mode, which will allow you to reset the administrator password. Wait for XP to fully load and for the “Welcome” screen to appear. Select “Administrator” from the options on-screen to log in as an administrator. Click on “Start”
