How Can I Get Access To My Computer

I just received my computer from my now EX-wife, and along with her son giving me the finger for the homescreen she put herself as the administrator, and kept the windows xp cd, how can I get access thru the guest login so I can change things, and be able to use my computer.

    A guest account is usually very limited and doesn't allow you to change things. Unless the computer contains data you need to access, I recommend you format the hard drive and re-install the whole system.

    If you use Windows, this is really simple: just boot the system from CD and follow the instructions.
    However, if you first need to retrieve data, boot the computer from a knoppix CD (www.knoppix.org) and simply copy&paste the files over to an external hard drive.
