The following leads to a blank page

Why not reset the password to a new tempory one and then go back and reset it back to the one that you want?

try booting to safe mode by pressing the f8 key after the bios finishes loading then look for the system admin account which most people forget to password protect log on to that account and change your password on your account from control panel user accounts
The blank page works fine---just so you all now.

Is there really a way to VIEW w windows XP password? I've never heard of it, if so, please do tell:-)?

I always sue the pnordahl offline passwd editor to reset a forgotten admin password, it has never failed me if I simply use * to blank the password and then boot to administrator using a blank password, from there on it's easy as cake!

Which password editor worked for you and did you actually recover then password or did you have to change it?
