Reset Window Xp Admin password using Xp CD

It maybe a situation that u forget ur Xp Admin password. Now u want to reset it but u dont have any Password cracking software or CD then what to do. If u have ur Xp installation CD u can still reset the admin password in following way :

You need to boot from xp cd and perform normal installation after accept license agreement a prompt will come for repair the win xp.
There u need to press 'r' for repair.
Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.and then system will reboot automatically.
after reboot Installing Windows is highlighted.

Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. User Accounts window will open.

Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type
control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (u should have your Product key in hand).
Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.
