If your are like most folk you have not set an ADMINISTRATOR password [the default Administrator...]., so start in Safe Mode and use a blank as password, then reset your own.

If you've set up the Administrator password and forgotten it, I heard of some tricks to reset password using a XP cd. Very fussy. here is an tutorial:

A real problem with the web is that much of the information posted upon it is not dated.. and not updated. That lil trick has not applied since the introduction of SP1.
Of course, on another tack, LINUX does not take the slightest notice of Windows passwords.
