The usual method is to blow it out and start over.

How did you "lose" it? The administrator password is the most important password in your system.

Keep in mind that the policies of this forum will not allow information on hacking/backdoors into a system, simply because we have no ways of verifying the legitimacy of the request.

Here's what to do if you have a password reset disk: http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp
