    Here's how to remove your XP password. Are there other passwords that you're concerned about?

    That was going to be my next suggestion. :)

    If you're looking to absolutely scrub the hard disk, try a product like Window Washer or something similar. There's a free trial here. Removes all trace of most programs, the stuff that the programs leave behind and not the programs themselves. Everytime that I've run it, it's freed up 100s of Mb in free space.

    Format {repeat x100}*, Re-install.


    * Or use " Darik's Boot And Nuke ".
