How do I remove the password from Administrator account and still get back
into XP without one using the same name "Barbara"?

I'm the only user except an occasional guest so would prefer not to have to
log in with the password.

Forgot to say I'm using XP Home and don't have the same settings as XP Pro
for changing the password to zero.--

You do realise that removing the Administrator password will allow
ANYONE who has a malicious bent to destroy your computer if they so desire?
