I can not get in to my computer because it is asking me to enter a password and i have forgot the password because I have not been on my computer in a long time. It is asking for the admin password. Dose anyone have any solutions that do not have to do with a complete reinstall. Please help.

You could start with the prior discussions we've already had about it at ozzu. Obviously, you're not the first to have this problem.

One thing you can do is save all the data as is...reformat and reinstall and just hope you didn't use the function that hides your data from others in the User Account Settings...
Like this you might get back everything you saved...

OR you might try "L0phtCrack"

all i have to say is ERD COMMANDER 2003! it has a locksmith utility. With this disk you boot from and it enables you to perfom changes to the hive without being a local user or admin.
