If you have lost/forgotten the administrator password, then you have one hell of a ride ahead of you. As far as I know, both Safe Mode with Command Prompt and the Recovery Console from the Windows XP CD "will" demand the password, even for an administrator account. What I do not understand is why you need to clean the registry from a DOS console. There's a lot of good cleaners for Windows out there, even freeware.
