I have some computers given to me by the previous tenant in my office. They are Dell Computers running XP pro. I don't know the passwords. I have reset the Administrator password however, when I reach the login screen the administrator account is not listed for login. There is only one account listed on the screen.

I reset the password through a DOS utility and when I view the password list in DOS I don't even see the user listed that is solely present at windows start up. How do I get the Administrator account to show up on the log in screen?

I have a system here that I need to work on thatI would be interested in the dos utility
I had 1 on a floppy disk before I moved and now cant find it
Any chance you could let me know the web address to D/l it or perhaps send it to me via email?

Thanks
