I haven't been active for awhile, all do to the fact that I dont know my login password for my desktop on Windows XP. I changed it to make it shorter and I must be an idiot because I forgot the password overnight. Do any of you have ideas for me to recover the password? Should I call someone ( windows/ gateway) I dont know what to do Thanks for your help.

Try one of these, if you haven't set up an Admin password on your system, you should be able to boot in safe mode, and use the admin account to reset your profile password.

you could try admin for a login and admin for a pw
