I don't think you can do it without a 3rd party software. I found this article on MS which isn't very encouraging: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321305&Product=winxp
Good luck!

Nope, nadda, zilch. You have to hack it or remember it
Note: There are free admin account password hacks, some work. some are a pain to get to work.

the initial setu-up username is in the administrator group, if you haven't changed privilages, that username can change the admin
username......check your groups for users with admin privilages, make sure that the user in the admin group is not in the regular user or power user groups.
have had some success rebooting in safe mode and
trying changes under the initial username because the initial user sets admin password, but then forgets to give him/her self a password.
That user then has blank password.....(oops).
The first user is put in the admin group by default on the local computer.
