Did you create an other adminstrator account and lost the password to that or did you loose the Administrator account password?
1) If you have two administrator's accounts, you can go into one of them and change the password.
2) If you created a new administrator account, and have forgotten the password to that, then you can do the following:
* go press ctrl+alt+del at the log in screen
* and type administrator as the username and leave the password blank. this will take you to the admin account that xp originally defaults to.
if all else fails, you can always reinstall your OS
