Answer / atul khachane
In case, if we lost our windows administrator user password then there is a security hole in windows xp from where you can gain access to your machine
JUST - run windows xp setup (dont format machine) on the machine and press keys SHIFT + F10 while xp installs devices during the setup
It will give you command prompt and then just fire command "control userpasswords2" then just reset the admin password

Here I take Windows 7 as an example to talk about how to
change account password in Windows in two different conditions:
When you know your current Windows 7 password…
1. Tap on “Start” and then select “Control Panel”.
2. In the subdirectory of “Control Panel”, click on the
“User Accounts and Family Safety” link and then “User
Accounts ”.
3. In the “Make changes to your user account” area of the
User Accounts window, click on “Change your password” link.
4. Then you will be asked to enter your current password and
your new password for twice. A password hint is also
necessary, though it is optional.
5. Click on the “Change password” button to confirm your
changes.
6. Close the page and you will be able to log on your
Windows 7 system with your new Windows 7 password.
When you lost your current Windows 7 password…
When you have lost your Windows 7 password and you want to
change your Windows 7 password, some Windows 7 password
reset tools will come into handy. If you have a Windows 7
password reset disk, you can take full advantage of it to
change your password quickly. Or you can use your Windows 7
installation disk. Besides, reliable Windows 7 password
reset software is also helpful, such as John the Ripper,
Opchcrack, Anmosoft Windows Password
Reset(http://www.resetwindowspassword.com), etc.
