You can also try [yurl=http://www.openwall.com/john/]John the Ripper. Use the above tool to retrieve the encrypted password file, then use John the Ripper to crack it.

From the XP login screen Type:

Ctrl-Alt-Del twice in a row.

This should bring up a login screen.

Type username: Administrator

and leave the password field blank.

That works on a lot of home PC's.

If it gets you in you can then change the login password for any user via the user admin screen.
