maybee yu cood menshun wich password

It is possible that he didn't change it at all and you could try entering
through it without putting a password in at all.

I say this because if you have been getting all of your updates from
Microsoft, the latest one made a few changes in this area!

Debi as an administrator you can delete all passwords but not change them.
There is a help page available at Microsoft.com

goodluck

Debi;
The password is Case Sensitive.
Check Caps Lock and try various of Capital combinations.

Or
Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.
If you are using Windows XP Pro and have encrypted data, you may
permanently lose access to the encrypted data.

Here are other options:

Another option is to install Windows XP on another partition and take
Ownership of your data.
You could also perform another installation on the same partition,
although this is not a permanent fix and it is recommended to perform
a Clean Installation after retrieving your data.

After this is resolved, take precautions to not lose the password.
