Forgot password how do get my computer into safe mode? it is a hp pavilion with window xp home ed. i change the password and forgot what it was.

If you have set an admin password,going into safe mode will do nothing if you forgot it. You will need to use a password recovery tool.
I would love to hear how these people think that the password can be reset in safe mode.

Safe Mode is a component of Windows that allows you to access your Window’s interface without having to load unnecessary drives and software. This component becomes useful if you are having much difficulties running your Windows version normally or if it has been corrupted by another program. In Safe Mode, only your basic drivers and programs will show up (enough to let you as least try to reconfigure the Windows errors that might have happened or remove virus that become active only when starting your PC normally.).
