password problem

[kramer]

well i have just purchased a system with windows xp pro,
and the guy i bought it off of has recently moved away
and i have no way of reaching him, unfortunatly he didnt
leave the password for his admin acct.

I was just wondering if there is a way to reformat the
computer and get rid of the password.

i have tried playing around with the setups and little
startup things like that but to no avail.

any help is much appreciated
