recover windos xp administrator password

if you forget the password, one way (time consuming but worked for me) is to use xp install cd. boot from the CD, on the first window choose install (don't choose repair at this point), then on the second window ask you install, repair or exit, choose repair by press R, then wait the system copy lots files . the system will restart, when the windows start install driver, press"shift+F10" at the same time, this will give you a command window. Now you can type "Lusrmgr.msc" and the local user and group management pop up. Now you can change, reset, and delete any account's password.
close local user management window and the command window, let windows repair process go through.
