Dave,
If you have a fully installable XP CD (not a "Recovery" CD), boot from the CD and let setup Start. You'll be offered the opportunity to Repair the XP installation. Press R to enter Recovery Console. You'll be prompted for the Administrator password.
At the C:\Windows prompt enter the following commands:
CD System32\Config
REN SECURITY SECURITY.OLD
COPY C:\Windows\Repair\Security.* C:\Windows\System32\config
Reboot the computer when the file copy is complete.
