What can I do if I forgot my Windows password?

I've got a computer that's stuck on the main screen asking me for the administrator password.

I think that there is software that can help you recover or change passwords on an XP machine.

Does anyone know or can recommend one?

Try the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. You can burn it to a CD, boot from it, and change the password from there.

Same basic approach, burn a bootable CD that allows resetting the admin password.
