User account XP Home

My son has made himself the administrator of his PC. He won't share the password. I need access to administrator acct so I can load parental control software. Any ideas other than trashing the hard drive and replacing it and reloading everything???

Either give me the password or you will never have another computer to use as long as you live here!

That's the step behind cancelling internet service (but that punishes other responsible users). Those actually happen to be close to my actual words to the boy.

Hit F8 at startup, enter safe mode, and log on with the built in Administrator account with a blank password.

 

Is this the only machine in the house?  If not, use MAC filtering to block his access to the router.  Or, use some specific filtering tools to only allow him to get to say something like Disney or Hannah Montana...hold that second thought.  After seeing those photos, they may be where he's going!!

 

There are numerous ways to make the boy capitulate.
