    Boot with this disk and you can delete and replace the admin password. Note that it will not tell you what it is.....only allow you to replace it. As for the autologon.....I seem to recall that holding shift just before logon will allow you to try your new password.

    BTW, please read the warnings about this boot disk....Its never killed a machine on me but there is always a first time.
