Answer 1

Assuming this is the only account on the PC, you can use this to crack the password. http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/b... Of coarse you will have to find another PC to download and burn it.  Also assuming the admin thing doesn't work.

Answer 3

lots of answers for this you could a) at the start up screen hold ctrl and alt then press del twice this should open a dialog then for user name put administrator and leave password blank b) Use a Linux boot cd like OPHcrack (warning only use this if you know what you are doing) c) put your XP cd in the PC and let it boot then select repair and when it says installing devices press shift and F10 nad type in nusrmgr.cpl then you can edit the password

Answer 4

press ctrl-alt-del twice and then the legacy 2000 login will appear in which you will then type "administrator" for user name and leave the password field blank. Next you go to the command line and type "net user (X) * "  The X is for the Username of the account that you lost. Then you press enter and you type a new password and reenter it. It will not show up visibly. Good luck
