    Windows XP password

    First of all I know this does not belong here, but I'm going crazy.
    My brother changed my windows account privileges and made my a limited account on my own computer and now he's created a Admin account. Is there anyway I can find out the password for that admin account?

    Thanks.

    Yes, but that involves password cracking and is more difficult, and I don't want to talk about that here.

    If you own this computer, why not just change the password?

    I used that exact program on my gfs computer when 2000 decided to act a fool - it worked like a charm.
