RE: forgotten password.
Not entirely sure if this will work.
XP administrator account is hidden by default.
Way to access this account is by going thru safe mode.
Now to access safe mode you use the F8 key.
How to ....
Restart your PC before the window xp loading screen(the one with the we bar going along the bottom)
hit F8. (just keep tapping F8 after you see the post message disappear)
then select safe mode.
Once safe mode comes on you should see 4 accounts one being the administrator account. (or you use the login screen were you have to type a username and password. type administrator with blank password.) if you see all 4 account click on administrator. it should log in. 75% of the time during an XP install the administrator password is left blank.
if it lets you in without password just to to control panel user account n change mums password.
that should be you in fine.
