Admin password question and more

My son gave me his old laptop running WinXP Pro.
On power on it comes up with the logon screen for two users:
Abe and Abe Administrator. Abe Administrator needs a password.
My son doesn't remember the password and original cd's are gone as he moved
several times.
A. How can I recover the Administrator password?
B. How can I bypass the logon screen entirely and have Windows go straight
to the Desktop?
Thanks for any help,
Nathan
