1st Method:
The first thing which you check if you forget log in password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget Your user account password then try this:
Start system and when you See Windows Welcome screen / Login screen,
press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it’ll show Classic Login box.
Now type “Administrator” (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank.
Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts”.
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode.
In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.
2nd Method:
At the logon screen, press Shift+F10 to open a Command Prompt with adminisrative priviledges and type:
net user {username} {password}
{username} = The Account’s User Name
{password} = This will be the new password
After done, you can log in your account with new password.
3rd Method:
If the above mentioned tricks don’t work, then try following trick which is actually a loophole in Windows XP Setup and a big security hole, This one is mostly for the experience user, so do with care:
