Windows XP password

[Tom]

I just upgraded a computer to XP professional. Now I
can't log in to the computer. I was trying to set up a
user account for the person who will be using the
computer as an administrator. I changed my name to be a
limited user. (big mistake). How can I reset the
passwords or is there an administrator password?

Hi,

Hit ctrl+alt+delete twice at the welcome screen, then type in administrator.
There should be no password for the default admin account unless you created
one. Then you can reset your type of user account from the control
panel/users.
