Recover Windows XP password

If you have lost you password and you were using account other than Administrator then you can log in with administrator account because during windows install Administrator password is left blank(if you didn't applied) At the winndows logon press Ctrl+Alt and press Del key 3 times. It will show you the classic logon window. There you can type Administrator in User and leave pass blank hit enter key or press OK. You will log into administrator account and now you can change your previous account password.
This will only work if you or your system engineer have left your password blank at the time of windows install.
