If you have XP Home, boot into Safe Mode by repeatedly tapping the F8
key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right
menu. Use the arrow keys to navigate. Then you will be able to log into
the normally hidden Administrator account. Unless you changed it, the
default password is a blank. Once in, go to the User Accounts applet in
Control Panel and change your password to something you will remember.

If you have XP Pro or changed the hidden Administrator password in Home,
use NTpasswd to change the Administrator password to a blank.
