It sounds like you have XP Professional edition. If that is the case, you
can't just reset the password like you can in XP Home.
However, in case you do have XP home, do the following:
Turn on the computer and press the "F4" key a few times. Eventually, a menu
will appear with several boot options. Just choose "Safe Mode".
Once the computer boots up completely, log in using the administrator
account with no password. No password is required in Safe Mode on XP HOME.
Then, press "Start", "Control Panel", "User Accounts", and then change the
password. XP HOME is easy.
If you do have XP PRO, you might have to install another instance of XP on
the hard drive in order to recover your data.
Are you sure CAPS LOCK isn't on?
