This question has been asked many many times both on this forum and elsewhere so do a search or Google for Admin Password Recovery and you will find hundreds of sites offering both advice and downloads.

For instance this one looks quite good for a starter.....

if it's not the hidden admin password try this.


Lost password , XP User Account with Admin or limited Privileges.

This procedure only works if you can enter safe mode thru the hidden Admin Account


1-Boot to Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key while booting
2-Choose safe mode, Press Enter
3-Select operating system, Press Enter
4-Click Administrator Account
5-Windows is running in Safe Mode, Click YES
6-At the Safe Mode Desktop, click, Start, Control Panel
7-Double click User Accounts
8-Click Your account (or the account you are locked out of)
9-click, Remove Password
10-Click, Remove Password again
11-Close all Windows
12-Restart Computer
13-Back at the normal desktop re-enter the Control Panel
14-Open User Accounts, Open your Account.
15- Add a password, or not!!
16-Done...
