Recover windows XP password.

Hi guys,
I've been using linux for about 6 months and in this time I never booted into windows XP. The problem is that I've got some very important CDs that support only windows and mac. I tried using wine but my computer starts crawling if I use it. So is there any way in which I can recover my old password so that I can change it for good.

Thanks.

I think you will be answered here

When u boot into xp press F8 n get into the safemode option.
Now here win will not ask u for a login.get into control panel n create a new user for urself with admin privileges.
now reboot normally into xp and use the new login...n well delete the old user if u want from the users.cpl in control panel.

Its soooo dumb that its so easy to break into the system but well thats windows.

who said it dont ask for password in safe mode?????
