I have decided to set up 2 accounts on my pc for myself
and my brother. For my account I have used a password, but
not used one for my brother.
For some reason my computer will not accept my password,
so the only account that I can gain access to is my
brothers.
The problem is that I cannot change my password from my
brothers account because he has limited access, I cannot
create another account whilst logedon as my brother due to
his limited access.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO DELETE MY PASSWORD OR CHANGE
IT FROM MY BROTHERS ACCOUNT??

If there isn't then will I need to uninstall the current
software and reinstall windowsXP.(Please note that I have
already tried to do this but it was unsuccessful as only
the administrator(me)can do this, but I cannot due to the
fact that I need my password(which the computer wont
accept). WOT CAN I DO...
 
Have you tried booting into Safe Mode and logging on
as "Administrator"? That may allow you to go to the user
applet in the control panel and delete the password you
set up for yourself.
