If your wife is an administrator and you're using the Welcome sceeen to
logon, here's what you can do.

Restart your computer. While it is booting, begin pressing F8 rapidly. A
screen will come up asking you what you want to do. Select Safe Mode with
Networking, and select Windows XP Home as the operating system you would like
to boot up with. When you get to the Welcome screen, there will be an account
called "Administrator." It will probably have a picture of a chess piece for
its picture. If you haven't messed with this account and set a password for
it in the future, click it and it will log you on as Administrator. You can
make any system-wide change you want, including changing or removing
passwords, but only those of administrators. For some reason, Windows only
recognizes user accounts with the power level of Administrator in Safe Mode.

If your wife is not an administrator, whoever is your computer's
administrator should logon and remove her password. She can create a new one
later.

If you do use the Safe Mode method, however, you would be better off leaving
the Administrator account without a password, just in case you forget your
password and you're the admin.

Hope this works, or at least helps.

Good luck!

Can anyone please help me. I don't know how this happened, but I'm guessing
my Son changed some things so he could hack in to go to sites I don't allow
him to. Now, he has no user acct. and I am no longer the administrator. I
tried to reboot in safe mode and the "computer administrator sign never came
up for me to try getting me back as it..
