I have windows XP and only one login/password for the admin log on. It told me to change my password because it would expire in 14 days and now it has locked me out. Is there a back door login/password for XP or am i completly screwed here. I tryedit in safe mode and the same results.

To be honest, you are probably screwed. There is usually the only way in backwards, is to use the Administrator account, unless it is the one timed out... This shows you a good lesson though, make a copy of your account and then amke the passwordsnot expire
