I forgot my computer administrator password, and I'm the
only computer administrator. I was wondering how i can
change my password. And i didn't make a password remember
disk.

Password remember disk? What's that?
Anyway, it seems that you have locked out yourself. If you really need your
password, get some hack tools. Otherwise I think, you're lost...

There is a hidden System Administrator account in Windows XP that is there
for emergencies such as this. You can log into Windows in Safe Mode and
reset the password on your account using this. The procedure is different
depending on which version of XP you have installed. See Method 2 in the
following article.
