forgot password

[jeff smith]

I'm the adminstrator on my computer, and can't remember
my password. I didn't create a password disk. How can I
log on or reset my password?

Or
Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.
If you are using Windows XP Pro and have encrypted data, you may
permanently lose access to the encrypted data.

After this is resolved, take precautions to not lose the password.
