Admin Password problem

Ok, I have a problem. Earlier, I tried to install WinXP Pro, and when it went to reboot the computer, it just.....stayed that way. Blank. I can't access that side at all, and I can't use the XP Pro disk I have as a boot disk. The only way for me to access the internet and get help, was installing my old Windows XP Home in. So, I went about the steps of installing it, and when it came to create a new partition for it, my finger slipped. So now I have a non-functioning WinXP Pro (With all of my stuff I've accumulated over the past 2 years), and this Home edition, all on the same partition. I've tried using my Home CD as a boot disk and then tried to recover what I have with the Recovery Console, but I need the Admin password. And, funnily enough, my Admin password just isn't working! So, I've tried a program called NTAccess to reset my Admin password, and it seems like it would work great...but its the demo. and I don't have $70 to spend on it. If someone could PLEASE help me, please please respond. I need to have this fixed by 8AM. If you don't want to post here, or could contact me faster, I have MSN and Yahoo messengers availiable.

A fairly well known utility for changing an NT/XP password has been circulating on the net for a while. Check out instructions here + download here. This this has worked pretty well for me in the past, but be sure to read the warnings.
