Hi to all: Daughter installed parental password on internet about year ago on notebook. Now wants to remove same, but forgot password. Can she remove it safely, or are drastic measures called for? If so! What's the procedure? Much thanks, Jim S

If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery issues should be taken up with Microsoft, Phoenix BIOS password recovery issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, Dell's "this system is protected by a password authenication system" should be taken up with Dell tech support, etc. ...

Hi: Sorry, I just didn't think. She checked with her bank and got that straightened out, apparently. I just thought, or rather, didn't think. I'll try to help her navigate the legitimate routes. She put the children's protection on, and I didn't think....Thanks for the head up. Jim S
