You can purchase various third party products that claim to be able to reset
the administrator password (some of these are very expensive).
If you do not have any other account that has local administrator privileges
then the third party software ma be your only option.

Actually there is some free boot disks with a minimalistic Linux OS inside
that resets your "Administrator" account password. But I won't recommend
that to anyone because it has the potential to screw up your entire System
Accounts Manager file.

I have the same problem. my administrator just seem to

activate itself in my home xp system. You won't be able
to reinstall or anything at all,............because you
will need the system administrator pasword to do so!!!!!
you're screwed anyway you go !! There has got to be a way
to turn the damn thing off!
