XP login password help please

**Jamin Eone6** · 19th September 2006

Basiclly iv been giving a sony vaio laptop, it has XP Pro installed and the person has forgotten his logon password.
The admin password has also been changed, also booting from a cd or floppy is not a possibility because it uses extrenal usb drives and the bios dosent allow it to boot from usb

, so im a bit stuck.
Does anyone have any idea of what can be done?

thanks

that lot would probably work, but like i said this laptop uses external cd and floppy drives (which i dont have)
so booting or running and programmes is out of the question

runs of usb memstick, only if your laptop supports boot from usb though...

[edit] just read that bit about bios not allowing boot from usb... DOH!
