Hi Terry,

For a slightly geekish solution you could try a Linux bootdisk or Usb stick. A Linux bootdisk will usually enable you to access the files on a Windows partition. Linux doesn't recognize Windows permissions but does recognize the files and folders on a Windows Disk. You don't have to install Linux on your Hard disk, you just run Linux directly from a DVD, CD or Usb stick. For more information about this see this article http://www.pcworld.com/article/21470...-distress.html. In the linked article they show how to reset the Admin password on a Windows machine from a Ubuntu Live Usb drive. If that doesn't work then this article might help http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how...ifier-0154860/. Google is your friend. As always, backup your files and folders before attempting to hack Windows.
Good luck and may the Geek Gods be with you.

regards
Athol
