You do not need to reinstall if you forgot the admin password.

There is a boot disk you can download at:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

that will let you reset the password of any account on NT4, Windows2000 or
XP.

Just follow all the default settings which are for the admin account. Used
it many
times with great success.

I also made a bootable CD image you can download from
