MS.ASw and Tracks eraser

[Ant]

Firstly: I am running XP Pro w/ SP2 and Fully updated as
of lastnight.

I left my computer on (My business machine) overnight
(after rebooting for the installations), and throughout
the day.

This evening, about 8pm (est), I rebooted my computer...

And Windows got a fresh case of amnesia, and forgot my
Login Password!

@#%$^&*(_+)!!!!.

I can access my 'Guest' account, but am locked out of my
Primary, Administrative rights-given main account!

I'v even gone so far as running system restore to
yesterday, and that STILL hasn't fixed anything.

HOPEfully, someone on here can give me some assistance
with this... Soon.

I KNEW I should've stuck with Linux!

Unfortunately if you lose your password, there is no way to recover it. The
only option for you is a parallel install at this point. On a side note,
losing the root password on any operating system will have the same effect
