In Xp pro, while installation it asks for administration password.In 80-90% case people keep it blank.
Hence if at login screen, you press Ctrl + Alt + Del and by typing 'administrator' at username and password blank ( ' ' )
then it will log you in as Administrator. As well if you are administrator privillage user then also you can used administrator account.
Again you can recover administrator password from Password Recovery disc from XP.See Xp help for more information.
As well as there are many softwares available to crack password using brute force method and other methods.
Look in google for details.
Or you can also refer to beginner hacking site for information to do that without any softwares from third party.
Hope this helps you.

Hey guys my dad forgot the password to his admin account and its the only admin account he created (ie) I'm a limited user.
We tried going to safe mode and using the administrator account but my dad had set the same password for that as well...
Is there anyway he can hack into the comp and get access to the admin account????

NTpasswd is a great linux distro i use, and that's probably the one you're thinking of. It can be found here: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Overview:
# This is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2k/XP/Vista etc system.
# You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
# It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppydisk or CD or another system.
# Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
# There is also a registry editor and other registry utilities that works under linux/unix, and can be used for other things than password editing.

How and Why?
NT stores its user information, including crypted versions of the passwords, in a file called 'sam', usually found in \windows\system32\config. This file is a part of the registry, in a binary format previously undocumented, and not easily accessible. But thanks to a German(?) named B.D, I've now made a program that understands the registry.

This site provides CD and floppy images for end users to easily edit their forgotten passwords. But it also provides full source code and binary builds of the tools to allow others to use as they like for other purposes. Registry format documentation also available.
