forgotten xp admin password

[Jim]

I have a problem with xp professional password trying to
update the password when it expired. The password I had
isn't working, I think my nephew may have played with the
computer and changed it.

There is an XP password reset program that you can d/l on to a floppy from
another computer. Boot from floppy, follow the onscreen instructions to get
into the hive, and you can change passwords for any account on the machine.
