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.

Here are other options:

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

The only way to obtain a lost "Product Key" (or in your terminology, =
"password"),
is to call Microsoft and request a replacement.
