Try this > http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/, works fine with XP, all you need to do is create a bootable disc and follow the walkthrough on that site, you can remove/reset passwords and unlock any user account.

Hope this helps.

tried the admin account?

On the logon screen press "CTRL+ALT+DEL" twice, type "Administrator" for the username and leave the password blank.

Trinity Rescue kit will do it also.

This is what I use

as long as the password is 0-9 and/or a-z, it'll work
