My windows xp shows me the login screen and I do not
remember my password. How do I get past this screen to my
desktop?

you can hit Control-Alt-Delete to get to the standard login prompt. login
under administrator, and hopefully you didn't change its password, because
by default there is no password for the admin.

Hi

Have you tried to log on with the original Administrator user:

If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local Administrator
password with one of the methods mentioned here:

Hi

That should be:

you can hit Control-Alt-Delete *twice* to get to the standard login prompt.
