I have an old PC I used about 3/4 years ago. Cannot remember any passwords.

I have rebooted to Safe mode and tried Administrator password as blank but
no joy.

I have a boot disk, which gets me access to the C drive, but still cannot
access.

I have Windows XP CD's to install from. How do I do this or bypass passwords?

Lost Password for Windows XP?

What OS are you using? If XP, start in safe mode, log onto
Administrator, then in user accounts, delete the password. If it's a
CMOS password, there is a program called CLRCMOS, either .EXE, or .COM.
Can't remember for sure.
