Cannot log on that I forgot my password with windows XP

I have widows XP and I can not access my user account I forgot my password. I am the only user on this computer. How can I get reset my password.

Hi TeresaGerney,

Try to start your computer in safe mode and log in as a user: administrator with the blank password (unless you have set a), if successful, you will need to click on start-> settings-> Control Panel-> users-> select your username and reset your password.

If you use the Welcome screen, you will need to press ALT + CTRL + DELETE (all three keys simultaneously twice) you will get a screen classic. Type the user name as admin and press ENTER.

I hope this helps.
