    Help PLEASE

    My wife has a Samsung netbook, it has a windows 7 starter pack on it, no disc drive, just a couple of USB ports, she hasnt been on it in months, and has forgotten her admin password,
    I have tried all the usual things, names of the kids, her name, my name, none of em work, so how do I get into it without a password, I cant creat a disc, it dont have a drive
    I have tried booting it from safemode, but it wants a password (which I really dont have any idea what it is)
    Everything I have tried, it reverts back to the start up screen and this admin password
    I have tried tapping F8 to boot in safe mode,
    (I tried all of em, with networking, no joy there either,)
    I have tried holding Ctrl, Alt + delete, that never worked either
    I have browsed the web for answers, non really found, those that I did find, never worked
    I know there are things out there to break passwords, but they all need a disc drive, which this thing dont have, I cant find anything that works from a stick

    Can anyone help out here, please


    I got the wife banging on about it, she says she dont want to lose all her work and I'm at a loss what to do (apart from killing the wife, but that dont get this thing working:cry)

    Thanks DavidGP-
    I could not find it earlier on majorgeeks, but I remembered it being posted sometime ago. I do try to link here, when I can for the same reasons.
