Use a blank password.

you should be able to boot off of a knoppix std live cd and reset the admin password with the chntpw. Images are available from https://www.knoppix-std.org/

perhaps go into safe mode delete all profiles which you dont need and and try to disable any passwords there

Just download the following torrent...https://thepiratebay.org/tor/3674903/Hiren_s_BootCD_v9.0_incl._keyboard_patch Burn it to a cd and boot you PC from it.
Loads of utilities but you want Active Password Changer in the password tools. Will let you reset any of the WinXP user passwords including administrator.

If you don't have a torrent client installed get this first and install it...https://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php. Then download the torrent file. Save it and then open it. The client will auto start and download the cd image for you.

You can go here https://thepiratebay.org/ to look for any other software/music/films etc you might want to download via torrents. Just an example site...there are loads out there.

Just read an older thread and see that Ken is well aware of torrents...wasn't trying to teach you to suck eggs

XP Home or Pro?

Home does not even mention the administrators accoount during setup and only ever shows up in safe mode.

You have checked to make sure that the account you are using isn't already an admin account (That is a member of the administrators group)
