admin password

[Juco]

I have a PC I am the only user and I set up with xp pro 18 months ago I have
never had the need to use admin since then, but I am in the process of
moving stuff over to new PC, I have on a couple of ocassions been asked for
admin password,which I thought I knew but obviously not. Is there an easy
way to change this? as I am the only user I don`t mind if I can replace the
password in some way or just delete the old one as I will move on to the new
PC in a couple of weeks and then reformatt the old one.

thanks

Do you know the username/password of another "administrative level" user?

As far as I know I am the only one but at the time was quite `new` to
computing so possibly clicked something somewhere. I did set up a user
`guest`and `my name` and `admin` so only three in total. I will check your
links later today and hopefully sort it from there.

thanks for your help
