You don't say which version of XP so I've included both.
Windows Home XP
1. As windows is loading up press F8 repeatedly until
the Windows advanced screen comes up.
2. Select safe mode (the version of windows you want
to use click XP wait until it loads the welcome screen.
3. Select Administrator and it will log you on as
administrator without a password (provided a password was
not created in this hidden account during setup).
4. Go to Start - Control Panel - User Accounts.
5. Select your name and click change the password.
Then you should be able to change the password, shut down
the computer and restart in normal mode and use the new
password you just created.
****
If you have XP Pro on your computer:-
1. At the log in screen type " ctrl-alt-delete "
twice.
2. In the User Account, type Administrator
3. Leave the password blank and press enter.
(Most likely a password wasn't created in this hidden
account during setup).
If you decide to set a password it is recommended that
you create a Password Reset Disk by clicking on "Prevent a
Forgotten Password" link in the left pane. The Wizard will
guide you through.
