i have forgoten my password on my xp operating system i can access pc but
only from a limited account any help much appreciated
Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which
cannot be deleted) and use Start > Run > "control userpasswords2" to
modify the desired account(s). (By design, the only way to log into the
Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For
WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will
produce the standard login dialog box.)

Failing that, Linux-based password cracking utilities abound on the
Internet, freely available to anyone who can use Google.
