My laptop (Sony Vaio) running on Windows XP Home Edition was hit with a virus

Mind you, all accounts on this laptop initially did not have password set.
All accounts on the laptops have being password protected including the
Administrator Account thus restricting access.
I've tried logon in safe mode with Administrator account but with same
result (Asking for a password).
Without having to reinstall Windows XP, is their a way to have access to my
laptop?

Have you tried typing in your name in the login line? My computer
started doing the same thing, but all I have to do is type in my name
in the login line with no password. I think whoever is the
administrator of your computer is the name you use.
