So I just turned on my old computer that has alot of docs/info I need. (I haven't touched it in a year) My acc is password protected and I don't remember the password.

There are no other users on the computer, so I can't go in from a different user account and remove the password.

Is there anyway I can get into my account?

if you're just looking for docs and files, you can just boot a linux live cd and put the files in an external harddrive or memory stick

bunch of ways to crack it, easiest for me is to access the secret admin account (that is if you have XP of course).

qft, the safe mode part at least.

spam F8 while your computer is starting up to get the the boot menu and then select safe mode. there is usually an unpassworded account. you might also be able to reconnect the HDD to another computer and use that to access that data

I believe if you used the NTFS filesystem encryption you have a problem. Else you just put in WinPE(See bart pe builder) or a linux livecd.
Afaik the unpassworded account is deactivated since WinXP SP2.
