Ok, so I have Windows XP on my home computer and have set
up a password for myself as an administrator, and set up
a password for the administrator. Guess what? I forgot
the password and can't get in. Now, what do I do?

Personally, I would love if people learned to search/research for their
answers. Searching these newsgroups.. Searching with Google.. Searching
the Microsoft Knowledge Base.. etc....

Having said that...

Hi

You could try 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:
