How can I fix my password on the computer?

Okay so long story short, I forgot my password to my computer (im using a different computer) and its the only account on that computer. Is there ANY way I can get onto my computer or am I screwed??? T_T* HELPP PLEASEE IM BEGGING YOU!!! (its a windows xp by the way)

Answer #1

Boot into safe mode - hold F8 while booting, a menu will come up, and choose Safe Mode. At the login screen choose Administrator. If you don’t see Administrator as an option, press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice for the login window, enter Administrator as the user with no password, and unless whoever set up the PC put in an administrative password, you will be in. Now, go to Control Panel, remove the password from your account and restart the computer. Good luck!

Answer #2

can you create a new user account on it? I think thats the only way.
