You must log on windows xp with an admin account:

Step 1: Type "net user" and press Enter. The command prompt will show you all accounts on the windows xp.

Step 2: Type "net user Paul 123" (Paul is the admin account's name and 123 is the new password) and press Enter. Now you have successfully created a new password on the admin account.
