Windows XP Dilemma...HELP!!

[kingbob]

Okay...My computer was running fine and all but I decided it was the time to upgrade to Windows XP (I was using Win ME). I went out and bought the Pro Upgrade version and was ready to install it but just in case I used xcopy to copy all of my data file and windows the my other drive in case windows xp didn't work. Once I was done with that I started installing Windows XP. Once the installation was finished it booted in to the user selection screen. Now I've installed the pro version of windows on 2 other machines for my friends but I've never run in to this problem. The name I typed for the first user or whatever was "Admin". So the the user Admin was on the list for user selection but it had a password to my suprise. I couldn't figure out the password or why it was there. So I figured I would just boot to safe mode and override the account "admin" with the Administrator account. But the administrator account had a password too. I looked all over the net for a password revocey proggy that would reset the password, but the cheapest was $199.95!! By the way, the file system is still FAT32. Does anyone know any way I can get into Windows to get rid of the password??

These is no way. If you forget your admin password, the only free way to fix this it is to re-install. Sorry for the good news. Ape Out.
