I FORGOT MY ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD AND I'M THE ONLY ONE HOW DO I GET
LOGED ON IT'S NOT MY MAIN COMPUTER BUT I STILL NEED TO GET INTO IT
No need to shout. Next time please type in mixed case since all caps is
considered shouting and rude; it will limit the number of people who
respond to you and you don't want that.
In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping
the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right
menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here. Once
in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator account. The
default password is a blank.
In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen, do
Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in
"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up Windows.
If you reset the built-in Administrator account's password in Home or have
Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the built-in
Administrator account's password to a blank.

Then go to the User Accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that
you will remember and make other desired changes.
