The password being requested is that of the built-in
_Administrator_ account, not the password for any other administrative
user accounts that the computer's owner may have created. Unless the
owner deliberately set the Administrator's password via the Management
Console (_not_ the Control Panel), it's probably still blank. WinXP Pro
asks the installer to set the Administrator's password during
installation, but WinXP Home doesn't.

Failing that, Linux-based password cracking utilities abound on the
Internet, freely available to anyone who can use Google.

If you could then there would be no security. You have to
use non-Windows tools, e.g.

Thank you very much.
How do I reset this built in password if I forget it.

Bruce referred you to "Linux-based password cracking utilities"
and I gave you the actual link. Do you require further details?
