    Password recovery

    Working on a friends laptop XP Home SP2 and he forgot his password. I have a password recovery program that works but only problem is it requires both CD and Disk so cant use on laptop. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a program that would work from CD alone so could get this laptop back and running.

    thanks

    There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
    your hand or head stuck in something

    If he didnt install a password on the safe mode administrator account, you can just log in with that and change the passwords.
