Resetting Logon Password in Windows XP

Working on an HP Pavilion 523 computer for a friend. They cannot remember the logon password. And quite frankly i've never seen a situation like this! Where you have to type in a password just to log on. Anyways, is there a way you can reset the password WITHOUT having ro reformat? Of course they don't have a Windows XP disc.

Any help would be appreciated.
