Okay, I did a no, no. I transferred my administrative files to second computer. DSL files that is. In the process I took away control of DSL administrative commands from my first computer. Anyway while working on the first computer on line I accident shut down the task manager on the second PC . I need to know if I can remove the memory battery to correct not being able to enter the computer problem. I just need to get in it without administrative password.

Not sure if I understand what you're saying. :confused:
On the assumption that you are unable to complete the loading of an NT based OS because you've lost the password...
The free bootable "Emergency Boot CD" [EBCD] below includes a Linux-based "NT Password Editor" that allows you to set a new [administrative or user] password without knowing the old one.

This makes it easier to boot a chosen drive [particularly the one holding the EBCD].

This has a number of useful utilities included including "Image" [for DOS, by Terabyte] & "File Manager".

Sylvander, Thanks for the Info. The PC beginner sounds like a good boot up CD. I missed the sale, but I bet it goes on sale again soon. It's only about 120 miles from where I live. Must be a student who developed it. I appreciate your advice. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining things. Please fill free to contact me any time. My other problem was answered for me by sbc. When I go to print on my first computer on the net if I click preference it knocks me off the net. They said conflicting drivers between the printer drivers and browser drivers, because they're close to being the same. Hope they're right. larry
