Password Lost!

Aaaarrrggghhhh!! My six year old son got on our children's computer and changed the user profile logon password. He now doesn't remember what the password is and the hint he put in is worse than useless. It's been a while since I've messed with XP and I swear there's a way around the user profile but I just can't remember it. Can anything be done?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Geoff.

My System

I don't think that it would be against forum rules to suggest you logon to the Administrator account in safe mode and reset the password for that user account.
