Log on as The Administrator. As you didn't say what version of XP you have,
in Home edition boot into Safe Mode. In Pro, at the Welcome screen press
Ctl-Alt-Del twice.

Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which
cannot be deleted) and modify the desired account(s) and use Start > Run

By design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP
Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro and MCE, pressing
CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login
dialog box.
