Thank the Lord! Ophcrack worked and the Dell is back and better than ever! (Well... maybe not better than ever.) As it turns out, I was not burning the program onto a disc correctly. I will walk through the entire process, and try to show some screen shots.

- First, visit Ophcrack's site, which I have posted here.

- Install "Ophcrack Live CD". There will be two choices. Choose the Live CD. This program is quick and easy to install, so it should only take a few minutes.

- Once the program is installed, it needs to be burned to a CD. This is not standard CD burning procedure though.
First, you must incert a blank CD and go to Applications->Utilities->Disk Utilities. The image you will see is at the top of this post.
Next, drag the program from your desktop to the window and select "Burn". Dr. Pfaffman explained what this does and why simply burning a CD does not work, but I honestly had a hard time understanding what he meant and do not want to risk confusing anyone else.

- Back to Ophcrack, all that is needed is for the computer to load from Ophcrack instead of Windows. This happens when the computer first turns on. You must hold F12 and choose to "load from CD".

- Ophcrack does the rest. All that is needed is to press Enter a couple of times, and Ophcrack works its way through the computer. It clearly presents your password and all other passwords from other accounts in a simple chart.

All I did after that restart it and sign in as before. All my information was all still there, safe and sound.
I just hope there is not some German spy watching me now through Ophcrack..... uh oh.
