XP Password work around?
Carol Haynes:
fOdder is correct ... if when the user was setup the 'privacy' option was ticked then all the files will be encrypted and resetting the password will render them all inaccessible.
Mizraim:
I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case because I formatted her computer before and never do that for someone who doesn't specifically request it. So we're probably off the hook. :P I appreciate the warning though. If push comes to shove, she has a TB external drive and we can back up her importants before facing yet another format.

How about Ophcrack? it can crack your windows XP password and display it. It worked pretty well for me.
CleverCat:
Can't you use the Auto Logon in Tweak UI?
Forgot you need your password first! :-[

Looks like Ophcrack requires you to be able to get into your machine, which would be nice if she could remember her password. ;)
