Research goes a long way and it is free.

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Example:
I forgot my Windows XP password
http://www.google.com/search?q=I+forgot+my+Windows+XP+password

Or, in case you aren't sure what just happened...

Now that you might understand how an Internet search can be performed, let's
look at the results...

I like the third link - it has everything you need.
Forgot the Administrator's Password? - Windows Password Recovery ...
http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm

That includes ways (free) to hack/crack/reset the administrator password on
the machine as long as you have physical access to it and an ability to make
a CD or floppy diskette and use it.

Come back - let everyone know if that helped you or not...

Why should you come back - well - this comversation is now archived and
searchable. You coming back and stating that you got help, that it worked,
maybe even explaining which technique you used to resolve your issue might
help someone in the future who searches for the same problem you had...
