Getting rid of the computer so i want to reset to factory settings.

While bototing press the F8 key start windows repair tool then restore to factory settings
You can go into safe mode (F8 at logo when booting up) and enter as administrator and then go to accounts and change Windows password and that's with XP.
If the method above can't help you, you can use one of the tools:
Windows Password Recovery Tool
Windows Password Reset
Install the Operating System that it came with and it will be as new in software terms.
