Is this XP Home? If so, boot into Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key
as the computer is starting up - this will get you to the right menu).
Now you can log in using the normally hidden Administrator account. The
default password is a blank. Once in, go to the User Accounts applet in
Control Panel and make the desired changes to your account.
