Re-start that computer and when you do, poke (not hold) the F8 key every second until a screen appears with many choices of how to start your computer.

Use the cursor keys and select "Start in Safe Mode" the press the enter key.
If you get a screen asking what system you want to start, choose your Windows XP.

Eventually, you will have a choice of what account you wish to log in with, choose "Administrator"
You will also be asked later if you want to perform a System Restore Point Rollback.
Choose answer to continue to run Windows in safe mode.

When the desktop finally appears, Click Start>Control Panel>User Accounts

Once there, click on your own account and then click Change Password.

Enter a new password and click...
