Boot computer and press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice when you See Windowswelcome screen / login screen. It'll show classic login box. Now type"Administrator" (without quotes) in username field and leave passwordfield blank, press Enter and you should be able to login Windows and you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts".

If that doesn't work, I think you have to windows password recovery software, for example Windows Login Recovery.

I believe probably the easiest and safest way for you is remove your Windows OS Passwords with Windows Password Recovery tools. I found a good one at http://www.reset-windows-password.com last week, and then I downloaded it and used it to remove the lost password within only few minutes. Furthermore, the powerful tool didn't cause a little data lose. It's worth an attempt.

Its difficult to recover the password but you can reset your password.
Just boot by safe mode(no need of password for safe mode) and there go to control panel and in the user account options remove the password for the account and create a new one. recovering a password is difficult and most of the softwares are not reliable

If you only had one"administrative" user account created and you've forgotten the password to it, try starting the computer in Safe Mode. Supposedly this will enable the built-in Administrator account for the one session. The default password may be a blank. Get into Safe Mode by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. If this works for you, then you can set a new password for your normal account.If this didn't word,then a password recovery utility is available for you,from gg ,i found this effective tool: Windows Password Unlocker
I hope this information was helpful…

Why do companies more like Windows XP instead of other systems?

I think peopel are used to Windows XP's peration mode and interface's functions. Or maybe is Windows XP's good compatibility. In my opnion, security is also the reason. With it I think the possibility of meeting password lost for Windows XP is low.

How do i reset my windows xp password if i have forgotten it

Forgot Windows XP password? The first thing which you check is whether you forgot windows xp login password or not. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account "Administrator" and sets its password to blank. So if you have forgot 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.
Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover forgotten Password by using "Reset Disk". If you created a Password Reset Disk in past, you can use that disk to reset the password. Or try free program called Ophcrack or Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0.
