Forgotten Password.

On my cousin windows xp computer she has forgotten her
password. She has lost all administrative rights and
cannot install software and use select programs. Can you
tell me the solution to getting back her administrative
rights, and if it involves formatting a little step-by-
step on how to do so for xp.

Bruce, I'm a real novice at this, so I don't understand
how to do what you suggested. I am the computer
administrator, and have a password. I want to remove the
password but it won't let me unless I can tell it what my
existing password is and I don't remember it. The hint is
no help at all. Please help! And I need step by step
specifics. I have Windows XP home edition.
I really appreciate your help.
