This came in handy recently helping a client. Sure, I could have used a Linux CD, but nothing wrong with using existing Windows tricks.

• Insert your Windows XP Setup CD and boot your computer.
• Proceed past the welcome screen and the EULA.
• You will have the option to install XP again, or “Repair your existing Windows XP installation“.  Press  “R” to choose repair.
• At this point, the repair process will copy any necessary files - not sure why this is needed for a password reset.
• The system will restart. Please ensure you DO NOT press a key when “Press any key to continue…” appears.
• Watch carefully for the message “Installing Devices”, at which point hit the SHIFT key AND F10 key.
• A command prompt will open (if you do not know what a command prompt is, this may be too advanced for you). Type nusrmgr.cpl followed by the ENTER key.
• The “User Accounts” window opens which will now allow you to reset the local Administrator account.

That’s all folks!
