Re: Windows Code
Is this a new install or a repair? If it's a new install, it's just asking for an admin password for the default admin account. Just type something in and go on. If it's a repair and it's asking for an admin password, you have to know what it is in order to go on. No one can give it to you unless they did your install and put it in originally.

Re: Windows Code
You can reset the password by modifying the sam using a boot disk/cd/flashdrive, but based upon the original question, I'm not about to explain how to do it since it will be like reading another language to you. If you're really interested, google is your friend. Otherwise, just blow out your existing windows installation and install it fresh. You won't loose any files or data, but you'll have to reinstall/refresh all of your software installs since the reg keys will be gone.

Re: Windows Code
Well for some reason it is running really slow. I went into setup and tried to change something and I think that is what caused it to run slower. I don't know what I did. I tried to reinstall it but it still runs slow. Is there a way to just wipe out everything that I did and start over?

is this a legit Win XP CD? if so, just stick it in the drive and reboot the PC, it should load from the CD and it's easy enough to follow the prompts.

Re: Windows Code
You dont have to reload you can run 'control passwords2' at the run command and reset any password on a windows XP machine as long as you are not in a network environment. I might have the command wrong but it should be it. Google it if its wrong.
