Help: Lost Admin Password

[MagooChris]

I went to install a program on my XP home computer the
other day and it come up with a message "you need to be
logged in as the administrator". I then tried to log in as
the Administrator but I seem to have forgotten my
password. What can I do about it?

Same problem here, I read that the windows may have to be
reinstalled. Hopefully there is another way.
