I had this problem before and I had to reinstall XP. Incase you don't have the restore disks; you may google for a linux hack that helps you rewrite your password from the DOS command line.

You can find a copy of BartPE disks on the internet. They should come with Windows Commander that has a password reset option. You can also find a password reset disk from google. Don't waste your time reinstalling until you have tried both.

You could simply download ophcrack live cd and it's gonna do the trick for you all by itself

If you need to find it, just google it or it's on sourceforge
