Boot in safe mode and remove the password from the account, or remove the account entirely.

:edit:

Sorry if I misunderstood. If you're referring to the administrator password on the BIOS/mobo then you can reset that by using the CLRTC jumpers. Check your MBs manual for it.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Is this the same computer as in your other thread?

If it is, maybe the easiest solution would be to take out the hard drive and put it in another system as a slave drive, then format it. Replace it in your system as master and then install WindowsXP.
