Retrieving a Password

slydarkwolf · 08-17-2007, 01:32 AM

Ok, my mother is a Teacher, she just got a hand me down computer from one of the other teachers at the school. Anyways, she was trying to access the program and needed the Password for it. She didn't know it, she called the teacher and the teacher could not remember it... so is there anyway to find the password in the system registry? Or am I going to need a program to access it? This computer is in no way connected to the net, and its an older computer. I think its running windows 95 or 98. I haven't had a chance to sit behind it yet and look. I figured I would post first. Its just a teaching program that my mom is going to use for her students this year.

Anyone with any opinions?

Sorry, I didn't know where exactly to post this.
