I just booted up my old Latitude CPi. Has XP PRO on it. Have not used it<br>
for years. My old password is not working, or I forgot it. How to find<br>
the password?<br>
<br>
I have another machine with XP PRO on it. I used an USB adapter to<br>
connect the CPi's HDD to it and could open files. Is there a place on XP<br>
PRO where passwords are stored?<br>
<br>
I have Knoppix disks as well. Also have LinuxMint 14 on the laptop I am<br>
presently using.<br>
