Computer help!

[chris vickery]

I know this is off topic but I thought I'd ask anyhow.

I have my old pc system which runs Windows XP. It has been dormant for a while and I have forgotten my password to login to the system. As XP has multiple user accounts with only one being the administrator, I need to login to add, remove or change programs.

I want to retrieve some info off of the system but am kind of shafted at this point unless someone can tell me how to 'break in' so I can either remove my admin status or change my password.

many thanks!
