Forgotten Password

[Guest]

I have forgotten the password that allows me to enter my computer on Windows
XP. I have read where you have to reinstall the OS from scratch and then
reinstall all of your programs when this happens.
Is there any way around this? Sounds like a drastic measure. I would
appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks.

For anyone who reads this, thanks for your consideration but I solved the
problem by going into my administrative settings and changing the user name
password. Phew!
