A friend has win xp on her computer but can not remember
what her password is to log onto her computer. Is there a
way to bypass the password to get on her computer? Please
reply to my e-mail above. Thank You!

Log on as the Administrator and re-set the password.
In Home Edition (as you didn't state which version) boot up into safe mode.
In Pro, press Ctl-Alt-Del twice at the welcome screen.

This is where the reserve, emergency account called Administrator comes
in. Boot, hitting F8 as BIOS info goes to black; take Safe Mode, There
will then be an icon for Administrator on the Welcome screen. (If not,
hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice and enter the explicit name
Administrator
and leave the password blank)

In that, Start - Run the line
control userpasswords2
where you can select any account name and Reset Password
