I Have Windows Vista on a new laptop But I can't access files in a user account protected by a password on a hard disk drive that was installed in another PC running Windows Xp?

ANSWER: I think they are asking about accessing password protected files, not the administratord password. You can't do it. The whole point of someone putting password protection on a file is to prevent someone else from accessing it. ALTERNATE: If you are system administrator on the Vista machine, it is possible to open up files (i.e. "My Documents") under a protected user's folder on the secondary HDD that was running XP. To do this, you have to open up the XP HDD, right-click on the folder you are trying to access, and edit its security options. Give yourself ("Admin") the rights to write and read to it, and be sure to apply it to all of its subfolders as well - or you'll be there for a while. Any drive attached to a Windows OS, excluding encrypted information and code-locked hardware, is subject to the whims of that PC's Administrator. there are some free password changers http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html
