hi guys ...my friend has a problem...
he made account on xp with a password but now he is not getting it right and there is no guest account or another account without password he is stuck at the welcome screen..plz help

Also try this:

1.) Press <ctrl>+<alt>+<del> twice at login screen and it'll show the classic login box.
2.) now enter Administrator in username and leave password field blank.
3.) It should start windows and now u can change the password of the lost account

Its not 100% guaranteed but works many times if the default administrator account is never used
