Need Computer Help - XP Admin Password
Actually, I never set one. Somehow the kids got into it and put a password in. While trying to set up a new router I find myself without access to any administrative rights.
What can I do?

Kill your kids
 I have no idea, I can't wait to see the answer to this. Good question & I'm glad it's you and not me. Sorry

Check the bottom of the router. There should be the standard username and password to gain access.
If that doesn't work, do a hard reset. This varies from router to router. But it involves holding down the reset button and usually plugging the power in. Try and see if u have the documentation for it, or look it up online. |

Enter usually works on a lot of systems
Except when the kids don't want the parents messing up the PC

Easiest method for me is creating a password reset disk: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305478
Hope it helps...
