Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ and download the boot
disk, this will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system.

If there's another Admin account on that machine, log into it and reset the
password.

If this is XP Home, are you aware that the built-in Administrator account is
only visible from Safe Mode? Simply reboot in Safe Mode (either press F8
during startup, or run MSCONFIG and on the boot.ini tab, select the
/Safeboot option. With the /Safeboot switch, when the system restarts, it
will do so in Safe Mode.

By default, the XP Home admin password is blank.
