Password on XP pro on Compaq laptop

bypass admin password on XP pro on Compaq laptop?
I have a compaq laptop and been using it for many years. I installed an anti-spyware software recently and it now asks for an admin password. I use XP pro. I tried the ctl+alt+del+del but no joy. Can anyone help?

I would reccomend OPHCrack. http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ Download: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-livecd-1.2.2.iso?modtime=1188977884&big_mirror=0 It is for if you have forgotten your Windows password. You will need to burn it to disk and then boot from disk. You can find instructions on the website. P.S. Don't use this if you haven't got permission - that's just lame.

Compaq laptop should I update to Windows XP

If I have a Compaq laptop should I update to Windows XP (Home Edition) Service Pack 3?
I read that there have been issues or problems for HP/Compaq users when they installed Windows XP SP3. I have a Compaq Presario M2000 Notebook with Mobile AMD Sempron Processor 2800+. Should I wait to update or not update all? If I should, what do I need to backup?

You need to have the right Service Pack 3 drivers in order for it to work, which not everyone has. If there are known problems, avoid it all together. I wouldn't upgrade to SP3 though. XP is gone from the shelves and is slowly being phased out. Vista has taken over.

I'd leave Service Pack 3 alone.Too many users are having problems with it. (Saniuk 40: Windows XP is being phased out and Vista is taking it's place? Muhahaha! Vista won't be around much longer, before Windows 7 comes in. People are still using Win 98 and Win 2000, PLUS WinXP. I think Vista is a flash in the pan. Besides, the Compaq laptop above won't support Vista)

How do I re-image a Compaq laptop?

How do I re-image a Compaq laptop?
I have an old Compaq machine with Windows 2K installed on it. I do not remember the admin password, ence cannot log into the machine. I want to completely re-image this machine with XP Professional. I don't care for the data, since I found this laptop sitting in my closet for over a year now. If you know and can share how I can achieve this, it will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Just pop in the XP boot disk and this should get you started! But f you don't get that far, well, check the jumper and take off the little cover, that will clear the password.
