Administrator's log in at welcome screen

I have a laptop using Windows XP Pro, SP2.



This laptop has been set up with one user log in, with administrative rights
and just shows that one name at the welcome screen.



Problem: The person who uses that log in has forgotten their password so can
not log in at the welcome screen. I know the administrators password but
because the welcome screen is displayed I can not select the administrator
as a user and use the administrator's password to log in.



Please can anyone tell me a way of logging in as the administrator and
gaining access to the system?



Thanks
