    hey squid...this comes from one of my IT guys in the office. hope it helps....


    here is a link to a couple good password recovery tools
    _http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/tp/passrecovery.htm

    I would recomend he reads this link before using password recovery tools

    a few tips on helping him remember

    also ask him if anyone other than him has ever logged into the pc with seperate credentials. Im guessing no but it is worth a try. if so that person can reset the password for him

    Squid check this out, to do this you will need to login under another user or a guest. If you can do that then you can change your own password....
