I have Windows XP and configure a separate password administration account. (I have not configured a hint.) Now I forgot the password. Do I have any options other than re - install Windows?

Cannot load or remove programs without administrative rights. Help!

A Microsoft Supported forum, the best advice that you can get here are covered in the following article:

"Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/189126 >

Despite its title, it contains pointers to useful techniques to treat your password.
In the end, however, the answer to your question is likely: Yes, you have options, but no, you won't find them here.
