Hi,
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice and you should get a box asking for your username
and password. Type Administrator for the username and leave the password
blank. If you did not specify a password, you should be able to get in.
Once you are in, you can reset the password for your normal user account and
login with that.
If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to do this is Safe Mode.
Reboot the machine, Press the F8 key up and down until you get a boot menu.
Select Safe mode and boot up. On the welcom screen administrator should be
visible, so simply click on that to logon.

Hold down Ctrl and Alt and Press Del twice.
This gives you access to Administrator account type in the password if you
know it else just type administrator as the user and nothing for the
administrator. And press enter
This should work.
or if your account name at the user side and password ( if any)
Good luck
