And I second this! Loads of XP machines have no Admin password. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice on the login screen to bring up the old-school login interface, then try "Administrator" with no password. If this fails, then try the NT Password Reset tool.

It's funny that this cropped up, because that's exactly what I was doing at work at the time.

 

I was also trying to stop students from setting a password on their account on our crap netbooks. Do you think you can stop it in XP Home? No you sodding can't.

 

I'm resorting to bunging Pro on them instead :'-(
