Hi -- I am not as dumb as I am about to sound.....

I downloaded a disk to reset my password on Windows XP and it is asking for my license number and I don't know what it is.

I have a legally (factory) installed XP and the official tag is on the bottom of the laptop. I have tried all the different itterations of the numbers but it doesn't seem to like any of them.

When I have typed one of the numbers, it says "password incorrect" -- is it asking for a license number or a password? If it is asking for a password, I wouldn't be trying this password reset disk (NTFS4DOS)

Can anyone tell me how many digits should be in my license?

Thanks in advance

Why do you need to reset your windows password. Please provide a little more information so I can help you. Can you log on to windows at all?
