Login with the hidden administrator account. It has that account name
and is created when XP is installed. If XP Pro at the login screen hit
ctrl-alt-del twice then type in administrator as the account and enter
the password you assigned to it when the system was installed. If no
password was given leave it blank.

If XP home boot into safe mode and choose administrator leaving the
password blank.
