Here is one method used to replace or reset the Administrator's password in Window's XP;

  • Boot in Safe Mode.
  • Login as any valid user (other than Administrator).
  • Load a command prompt.
  • Reference: Typing 'net user' and pressing enter will generate the list of users.
  • Type 'net user Administrator *'.
  • Enter a new password and confirm when prompted.
  • You should now be able to login using the Administrator account.
Note: This may not work using a LIMITED account.
