Default Error in system registery

the thing is, i cant even get windows xp to load, im
writing this from another computer. Is there anyway to
bypass the administrator password when using windows
recovery console?

if i try reinstalling windows, there is not enough space
on the partion that has my windows xp installed, but if
im trying to install it to the same partion, even if it
says it will reformat the harddrive, maybe it will
reinstall windows over the existing copy of windows and
my files on that partion wont be wiped?

Reset it: Start--Run--type compmgmt.msc--System

Tools-
-Local Users and Groups--Users--right-click on
Administrator--Set password. For a more comprehensive
solution, make a password recovery disk. Under Related
Tasks in the User Accounts Control Panel applet,
click "Prevent a forgotten password."

My other computer running windows xp has some kind of
system registery error and wont boot to windows xp..

ive
tried everything to fix it.. when i try to use recovery
console, it asks me for the administrative password,
which im pretty sure never set and left blank, and it
wont accept the password as blank. When i try to use
repair by using the disk i used to install windows xp,

it
fails to find the instalation of windows xp on the hard
drive which is surprising. I cant install it again

since
all 4 of my drives have under 1gb of memory needed for
win xp. Help me please.. i cant get it to start at all.
