Thanks for trying to help. Agree with your logic. Been buying since
1-'98. Lost $5 in '99. None since. Some have never Ebay'ed. Tried
to give encouragement. s
Hey, vips, should you read this, the above 2 cautions from JD to me are
absolutely correct in pointing out things to consider when attempting
evaluation of an Ebay seller's integrity. But do NOT worry about this
seller; should he cheat you, I WILL personally reimburse you via PayPal
every cent you paid him for this product in question (You may email me for
repayment by re-arranging the obvious in my email address provided herein.),
but please: you need to first communicate with him should you purchase his
product and be unhappy with its performance. He advertises, and I believe
him, that he will provide free technical advice that may be needed in
attempting to use his product. Should you find yourself in this predicament
and automatically give him a negative feedback, he would probably retaliate
and give you one in return. That way, he has a bargaining chip to take to
Ebay and complain with, hopefully ending up mutually agreeing with you to
remove BOTH negatives. And, as was correctly pointed out by JD, this is not
fair to the buyer; and to make matters worse, it actually unfairly favors
the seller, as he can make his rating look better than it actually should
be--using this arm-twisting gimc to force withdrawal of often-justified
negatives.
Hey again, vips, should you still be reading, and to further justify my
faith in this Ebayer's credibility, let's assume the worst and consider that
ALL FIVE of the "Ratings mutually withdrawn..." pointed out were initially
negatives. (We were correctly advised that we must consider them.)
Factoring these in as such, and using Ebay's present method where *702 /
704* gave him a 99.7% rating, this would drop the guy's feedback rating from
99.7% to 99.0%--702 must now be divided by *704 + 5*, which would give him
only 99.0%.
From here go out hopes, vips, that you have not reduced this seller's
credibility *very much* by these cautions left to me.

Why pay for something that you can just download absolutely free? At
least that's what I was able to do a couple of years back. I still have
the program kicking around here somewhere. It was booted from floppy
disk and allowed the user to change any XP user's password.

OK, does he mean his logon private password or his Windows serial
(came with his windows cd?) If it's that one, JellyBean here will find
it. His OWN should drop out of sight by pulling the battery for a
while. http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml (freebee) Size:261kb

He's not very clear on that, Larry. Anyway it's early for me. How does
one normally "log onto windows"? If his machine was up & running
surely to christ he doesn't "log on" to windows. Then he HAS put a
personal password in. Keyboard or otherwise. If it's he Installation
Windows CD serial then this wee dingus will sort him out.
I'm going back to sleep. :-)

I've used the Offline Password and Registry Editor (as listed by Pete) and
it does relatively easily work on XP systems to blank out the password. The
strange thing I did encounter though was that it would work fine with ATA
hard drives, but I had trouble resetting the password blank with this
program when the hard drive was SATA. I believe the program also mentions
that there could be problems with the newer (SATA) hdds.

Can you not read? What part of "I forgot the password for logging on to
windows." do you not understand?

The part about...you don't get a password to "log onto windows".
Windows SUPPLIES a serial number to each individual who buys it. You
put a password anywhere into your system then only YOU know what it
is. Sorry, go see a freakin' hypnotist, mind reader, shrink etc.
