Boot into safe mode and click administrator you should be able to reset password on all user accounts

If you can boot from a cd or usb drive, you can use a hiren boot cd or a similar prodcut to just remove the administrator password and just login.

Hi!
Don't panic, is deadly easy to sort that out...
Like has been said here already, you can try:
When booting press F8 and start xp in safety mode, then log in in the administrator acount, go to painel control and users and reset the password from the acount you want.
If the acount in use is already, the administrator one, you wont be able to do this, however you can sort out in another way...
You can like z786 said use opcrack, personally i had a few intances where opcrak was not able to retrieve the password, and i found this one which i found more reliable...
