I have lost the Administrator password for a Windows XP computer and need a free utility to load to a usb flash drive to be able to log onto the computer and change the password. There are a lot of free utilities that will do that, but I would prefer something reputable that I don't have to worry about using and having it install malware, viruses or accessing the information on my computer. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ron

Sadly, we have no way of verifying you are the legitimate owner of this machine. Therefore, note Section 3, Item 3 of the Whatthetech Terms of Use you agreed to when you joined,

Due to the nature of online help we are not able to verify ownership, and will not be able to help bypass or recover any user passwords, cd keys, license codes, serial numbers, etc.
